This study aims to explore the epidemiology of prevalent eye diseases in north Kordofan State. Methodology: This retrospective descriptive study was conducted at El-Obeid Teaching Hospital's Ophthalmology Department, North Kordofan State, Sudan, and Dr. Khalil's Ophthalmology Center. Out of almost 50000 patient files, we selected 1000 files for this study using a random systemic selection of 1 in 50. The data collection sheet was created, and all data were collected. Results: The corneal diseases made up 19.6% of the 1000 cases in this study, followed by conjunctival 17.7%, lens 15.3%, eye surface 9.8%, uveal tract 9.1%, refractive errors 6.4%, eye lids 5.4%, orbital 5.4%, glaucoma 4.3%, retinopathy 4.6%, anterior chamber diseases 2.1%, lacrimal drainage system disorders 1.8%, and nerve palsies 0.5%. Conclusion: The western Sudan is heavily affected by eye diseases, with corneal diseases being the most common, closely followed by conjunctival diseases.
