Abstract
An Giang province is one of many provinces of Mekong Delta, South of Vietnam, with 2 million people and 85% population living in the countryside for agriculture. Main causes of blindness are leucoma secondary to trachoma and mycoses (16%) closed angle glaucoma (5%) and cataract (50%). Percentage of eyes requiring ocular surgery is 0.88% of total population. 1200 patients had surgery during year 1995; as 16,000 patients are waiting for surgery, we stress that this backlog must be reduced as soon as possible. On an other hand, we intend to develop corneal transplantation.
