“…CNVM from AMD was found in about 40% of AMD cases, as opposed to previous reports that have shown rates between 10% and 20%;7,14,15 this might be related to better examination and diagnostic procedures following subspecialization. Dry AMD was still responsible for more of the presentations when we consider the early form.…”

“…The disease was initially thought to be uncommon in people with dark skin living in developing countries,2 but recent studies have shown that it is more prevalent in developing countries such as India3 and Nigeria4 than previously thought. AMD has also been shown to be an important cause of poor vision in the western5–7 and southeastern8,9 parts of Nigeria. Adequate data are lacking concerning the prevalence of the disease in developing countries.…”

“…In 2006, we published on our experiences with retinal diseases in our institution and the need to establish a vitreoretinal center in the subregion 7. The International Council of Ophthalmology, International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, and a representative from Carl Zeiss, Inc, visited our institution and helped initiate sponsored fellowship training in subspecialties including vitreoretinal.…”

BackgroundAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is considered uncommon in black populations including those of Sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this review was to determine the pattern of presentation of AMD in our hospital located in Ibadan, the largest city in Sub-Saharan Africa.MethodsA retrospective review of all cases with AMD presenting to the Eye and Retinal Clinic of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, West Africa was undertaken between October 2007 and September 2010.ResultsIn the 3 years reviewed, 768 retinal cases were seen in the hospital, 101 (14%) of which were diagnosed with AMD. The peak age was 60–79 years. The male to female ratio was approximately 2:3. More males presented with the advanced form of dry AMD than females (odds ratio = 2.33). However, more females had advanced wet AMD than males (odds ratio = 1.85). Wet AMD was seen in 40 cases (40%).ConclusionThe review determined that, as AMD is not uncommon and wet AMD is relatively more common in our hospital than has been reported previously, this is probably true of Ibadan in general.

To review studies on hypertension in Nigeria over the past five decades in terms of prevalence, awareness and treatment and complications. Following our search on Pubmed, African Journals Online and the World Health Organization Global cardiovascular infobase, 1060 related references were identified out of which 43 were found to be relevant for this review. The overall prevalence of hypertension in Nigeria ranges from 8%-46.4% depending on the study target population, type of measurement and cut-off value used for defining hypertension. The prevalence is similar in men and women (7.9%-50.2% vs 3.5%-68.8%, respectively) and in the urban (8.1%-42.0%) and rural setting (13.5%-46.4%). The pooled prevalence increased from 8.6% from the only study during the period from 1970-1979 to 22.5% (2000-2011). Awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were generally low with attendant high burden of hypertension related complications. In order to improve outcomes of cardiovascular disease in Africans, public health education to improve awareness of hypertension is required. Further epidemiological studies on hypertension are required to adequately understand and characterize the impact of hypertension in society.

“…The common diseases noted were macular diseases (35.6%), comprising AMD, macular scar and holes. [19] In the present study, macular diseases were also present in 20.93%%, comprising ARMD, macular scar and holes.
