设计：以人群为基础的流行病学研究。参与者：参加澳大利亚悉尼西部蓝山眼科研究的符合条件的49岁或以上居民(n=3654)。方法：参与者进行详细的眼科检查，包括最小分辨角度(LogMAR)视力的对数测量、标准化屈光和视网膜立体摄影。主要观察指标：近视性视网膜病变包括葡萄肿、漆裂、Fuchs斑和近视性脉络膜视网膜萎缩。结果：44名受试者(1.2%)的67只眼出现了近视视网膜病变的体征，女性患病率为1.4%，男性患病率为1.0%；近视患者的右眼患病率为1%
Objective: To determine the prevalence and progression of myopic retinopathy in an older community-based population sample.Design: Population-based epidemiologic study.Participants: Eligible residents aged 49 years or older (n = 3654) who attended the Blue Mountains Eye Study, west of Sydney, Australia.Methods: Participants had a detailed eye examination including measurement of logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity, standardized refraction, and retinal stereophotography. All patients were invited to attend follow-up examinations after 5 years.Main Outcome Measures: Myopic retinopathy was defined to include staphyloma, lacquer cracks, Fuchs' spot and myopic chorioretinal atrophy. beta-peripapillary atrophy was assessed separately.Results: Signs of myopic retinopathy were found in 67 eyes from 44 participants (1.2%), a prevalence of 1.4% in women and 1.0% in men; this increased from 1% in right eyes with myopia
