An ocular status survey of the Samburu tribe of Kenya was carried out. There were 844 survey members in an age and sex stratified cluster sample. The prevalence of those who were found to have moderate visual loss or worse (less than 20/60 [6/18] in the better eye) was 3.8%. Those blind by USA criteria represented 1.7% of the total population. The two principal causes of blindness, cataract and corneal opacity, are both surgically amenable. A description of the Samburu people, the survey methods, and a summary of the survey findings are included.
对肯尼亚桑布鲁部落进行了眼部状况调查。在一个按年龄和性别分层的整群样本中有844名调查对象。被发现有中度视力丧失或更严重情况（较好眼视力低于20/60[6/18]）的患病率为3.8%。按照美国标准失明的人数占总人口的1.7%。导致失明的两个主要原因，白内障和角膜混浊，都可以通过手术治疗。文中包括了对桑布鲁人的描述、调查方法以及调查结果总结。
