Arafat Ibrahim is a professional in the field of epidemiology. A special attention in his experience is paid to glaucoma - the silent thief of sight.
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world, accounting for 15% of blindness in Africa. Up to 50% of glaucoma patients are already blind in one eye at first presentation mainly due to the lack of sufficient knowledge on how to seek care early. Awareness about its nature and risk factors are known to affect the behavior for seeking intervention. However, little is known about the level of knowledge of glaucoma and associated factors in low-income countries like Ethiopia. The aim of this book is to assess specific knowledge of glaucoma and associated factors among the adult community residing in Dire Dawa town.
