A report from the Rothschild Foundation Hospital in Paris, France, discusses the findings of a study on eye diseases and conditions in the Syrian refugee population and the hosting community in Lebanon. The study analyzed data from the Ayounkon project, which provided eye health care to Syrian refugees and Lebanese residents in the Bekaa Valley. The study found that ocular allergy and cataract were the most common pathologies, and visual impairment was more prevalent in the Syrian population. The researchers emphasize the need for targeted interventions and access to eye care services for these populations. [Extracted from the article]
