HIGH-VOLUME EFFICIENT CATARACT-SURGERY IN DEVELOPING-COUNTRIES

The use of simple, flexible, efficient eye departments which make good use of available personnel and appropriate technology can be a very effective method of offering eye care and cataract surgery to large numbers of patients in the tropics and elsewhere. Such a department in a village hospital in Pakistan is described as an example of how effective such an approach can be in the delivery of cataract surgery and other eye care. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
