The crystalline, natural lens of the eye, is normally transparent. But, most often with age, it opacifies involving a decrease of visual acuteness. It's the cataract. It is the first cause of blindness in developing countries; about 40% of the 37 million blind people in the world are affected by. It is therefore a major problem of public health in these countries, particularly since the treatment is known and its application is only limited by the cost. The favorisant factors are undernutrition, dehydration, exhibition to the sun. Then it occurs to relatively young subject. In Senegal The cataract epidemiology revealed a sex ratio of 1.23; men are more affected. Some ethnic groups are more affected than others, as well as certain age, locality and occupation.
