Taking the presenting <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">VA<\/jats:styled-content> into consideration, the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness was cataract (40.3%, 40.9%), followed by uncorrected refractive error (26.6%, 28.2%). According to the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">BCVA<\/jats:styled-content>, the main cause of visual impairment and blindness was cataract (48.3%, 41.3%) followed by glaucoma (19.0%, 23.9%).
