Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and causes of bilateral and unilateral blindness in the town of Douala and its environs based on data from the ophthalmic unit of a tertiary hospital in Douala.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective epidemiological survey of consultations at the eye unit of the Douala General Hospital over the last 20 years (from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2009).
Results: Out of the 1927 cases of blindness, 1000 were unilateral, corresponding to a hospital prevalence of 1.
Aim: To determine the prevalence and the visual morbidity of juvenile glaucoma in an urban black population.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1343 files of glaucomatous patients was carried out from January 1991 to December 2001 at the Douala General Hospital in Cameroon (Central Africa). Ninety four of them had juvenile glaucoma.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines late post-traumatic glaucoma, especially from irido-corneal angle injuries, focusing on black Cameroonian patients over a 10-year period.
- Out of 1343 glaucomatous patients, 57 had post-traumatic glaucoma, with 28 cases attributed to irido-corneal angle injuries, reflecting a prevalence of 2.1%.
- The findings show high rates of monocular blindness, significant delays in diagnosis, and poor treatment outcomes, urging the need for enhanced trauma prevention and patient follow-up.
