I traveled to Livingstone, Zambia and conducted a cross-sectional study investigating the prevalence of elevated intraocular pressure using rebound tonometry throughout rural villages in Kazungula district, southern Zambia. Elevated intraocular pressure is a major risk factor for developing glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness in sub-Saharan Africa.
