title: Optometry and optometric practices in Nigeria.
abstract: This paper describes the number, distribution, and characteristics of optometric practices in Nigeria and compares them to similar data in the U.S.A. The results indicate more similarities than differences--the latter attributable to the difference in the age of the profession in the two countries.
