Eye Health & Preventable Blindness Dataset

Abstract

This dataset provides 30,000 simulated records (10,000 per scenario) of patients presenting with eye conditions and visual impairment across sub-Saharan African settings. Each record contains 40+ variables including primary eye condition, visual acuity (logMAR), WHO VI category, clinical findings (IOP, cataract grading, glaucoma stage), treatment (surgery type, spectacles, eye drops), and visual outcomes. Three settings: eye hospital (60% treated), district hospital (17%), and community screening (11%).

1. Introduction

Approximately 1% of Africans are blind, with cataract the leading cause (~~50%), followed by refractive error (~~20%), glaucoma (~~15%), and trachoma (~~12%) (Lewallen & Courtright, 2001). The cataract surgical rate in SSA is 300–500 per million per year versus the target of 3,000. Ophthalmologist density is 2–3 per million (target 4). Over 90% of visual impairment is preventable or treatable (Burton et al., Lancet 2021). Glaucoma presents late in SSA with >50% undiagnosed at first visit.

This dataset is entirely simulated. It must not be used for clinical decision-making.

4. Validation

Validation Report

Key validation checks:

Blindness reduction: Eye hospital 18→9%, district 17→14%, community 18→17% ✓
Cataract leading cause: ~26% of presentations ✓
MSICS dominant: Most common cataract surgery in SSA ✓
Glaucoma late presentation: 65% advanced/end-stage ✓
Treatment gap: 60% → 17% → 11% across scenarios ✓
Traditional medicine: ~20% across settings ✓

5. Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/eye-health-preventable-blindness", "district_hospital")
df = dataset["train"].to_pandas()

python generate_dataset.py --all-scenarios --n 10000 --seed 42

6. Limitations

Simulated: Not derived from real eye care registries.
No imaging: No fundus photos, OCT, or visual field data.
Simplified VA: LogMAR only, no letter-by-letter scoring.
No paediatric screening: Limited childhood eye conditions.
No cost: No spectacle or surgery cost data.
