  • 简介:目的了解安阳县≥40岁自觉视力障碍农民盲与低视力患病率及致盲原因.方法安阳县各行政村中,≥40岁自觉视力障碍农民为筛查对象.采用WHO盲与低视力标准和白内障诊断标准.由眼科医生作眼部检查.对所有视力<0.3患眼进行主要病因诊断,确诊所有白内障患者,并筛选出需手术治疗者.结果共检查853例,盲目患者23例,患病率2.70%,低视力患者99例,患病率4.27%,致盲主要眼病依次为白内障、角膜病、青光眼、视网膜病等.共筛查出533例白内障,行白内障手术治疗301人次,脱残率98%,脱盲率99.34%.结论白内障仍是盲和低视力首要病因,防盲治盲重点仍是白内障复明手术.

  • 简介:青光眼全球第二大致盲性眼病,全球有近4亿青光眼患者,我国青光眼患病率约为1.3%,居世界第二位,约有2300万青光眼患者。临床上青光眼导致失明占整个眼科致盲25%-40%,世界上第一位不可逆性致盲性眼病。目前为止,人类尚无一种有效治疗手段能够治愈这一疾病。患者一旦出现视力下降、视物模糊、眼红眼痛等症状就需要及时就医,青光眼对视力损害不可逆转,最终可能导致失明。青光眼病理基础眼压升高,眼压调节功能会受到影响,视物模糊会使患者以为自己只是看花眼了。患者往往通过眼部不适症状判断自己是否患有青光眼,这是一种非常主观判断方法。那么青光眼有哪些症状呢?
