目的：探讨睫状视网膜动脉对老年性黄斑变性的影响。方法：选择老年性黄斑变性患者175只眼，非老年性黄斑变性患者170只眼作为对照。结果：在未患AMD的患者中，有20.6%的眼建立了CRA。12.5%的黄斑变性患者有CRA(p=0.045)。湿性AMD患者CRA发生率为13.6%，干性AMD患者CRA发生率为10.5%，玻璃体AMD患者CRA发生率为19.2%。结论：CRA的存在可能对AMD的发生有保护作用。
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the cilioretinal artery (CRA) on eyes with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Methods: One hundred and seventy-five eyes with AMD and 170 eyes without AMD as a control were included in the study. The prevalence of a CRA was compared between the control subjects and the patients with AMD.Results: A CRA was established in 20.6% of eyes that did not have AMD. 12.5% of eyes with AMD had a CRA (p = 0.045). A CRA was observed in 13.6% of eyes with wet AMD, in 10.5% of eyes with dry AMD and in 19.2% of eyes with drusen.Conclusion: The presence of CRA may have protective effects against the development of AMD.
