Abstract
In a study carried out in West Cameroon Province where 1749 patients were involved, the author aimed at studying the ocular pathology of this area. This was all the more important because the province was not equipped before with any department of Ophthalmology. It appeared from this study that infectious and inflammatory diseases of the anterior segment of the eye and of the eye-lids are by far the most widespread. Then come the refraction defects. Ocular traumas come next, in third position, then cataracts. The other eye diseases are less common in this area.
