title: [Availability of patients living in rural areas, to have surgical method of treatment of cataract and glaucoma].
abstract: Using modern surgical treatment on patients that live in rural areas, with cataract and glaucoma is not sufficient. There is insufficient expertise of ophthalmologists, low level of human, logistical and financial resource support for eye hospitals, low level of motivation and socio-psychological problems among patients, creating a favorable situation in Ukraine for further growth of low vision and blindness in rural areas. Institutional solutions of existing problems are proposed.
