Ethiopia, with almost 6 million people affected by blindness or visual impairment, is one of the nations with the severest eye diseases problem worldwide, with Cataracts (1,7 million cases according to Orbis Int.) and Trachoma, a bacterial eye infection often connected to insufficient hygienic conditions (Ethiopia holds alone 30% of the cases in the sub-saharian area) being the leading causes. Furthermore, the lack of ophtalmologists (there are around 140 eye-doctors in the whole land) and structures impedes the population, especially the rural one, from having access to screenings and cures.
