汇集青光眼的流行病学、经济和个人负担的相关信息。解释性文章。1991年至2010年12月发表的选定文献的综述和综合。据估计，目前全球40岁以上人口中有3%患有青光眼，其中大多数未被诊断。青光眼引起的视力丧失对健康相关的生活质量有显著影响，即使在疾病的早期阶段。总体负担随着昏迷损害和视力丧失进展而增加。青光眼的经济负担是显著的，并且随着疾病的发展而增加。早期识别和治疗青光眼患者和视力丧失高风险的高眼压患者可能会减少个人健康相关生活质量的损失以及个人和社会的经济负担。
To bring together information concerning the epidemiology and the economic and individual burdens of glaucoma. Interpretive essay. Review and synthesis of selected literature published from 1991 through December 2010. An estimated 3% of the global population over 40 years of age currently has glaucoma, the majority of whom are undiagnosed. Vision loss from glaucoma has a significant impact on health-related quality of life even in the early stages of disease. The overall burden increases as glaucomatous damage and vision loss progress. The economic burden of glaucoma is significant and increases as the disease worsens. Early identification and treatment of patients with glaucoma and those with ocular hypertension at high risk of developing vision loss are likely to reduce an individual's loss of health-related quality of life as well as the personal and societal economic burdens.
