Outlines a strategy for bringing sight-restoring surgical services to the world's estimated 17 million persons who are needlessly blind due to cataract. Noting the need for a public health approach to the problem, the book presents arguments for the use of primary health care services as the framework for case-finding, diagnosis, referral and follow-up. Arguments, which take their force from the availability of a safe and effective surgical treatment, aim to guide the establishment of cost-effective, high-quality surgical services on a mass scale.
