Background: Inter-regional trends of visual loss in most developing countries remain largely unknown. We compared the causes of childhood blindness among children attending blind schools in the northern (one school) and southern (two schools) regions of Ghana and assessed their need for spectacles and low-vision devices.
Methods: Using a standardised methodology, children were examined by an ophthalmologist and optometrists in each location.
