亚洲现有的失明数据表明,致盲性眼病的患病率在0.2%至1.5%之间,平均为1.2%。1在他们关于蒙古青光眼的文章中,Foster及其同事2报告了在随机选择的40岁及以上人群中,致盲性眼病的年龄调整患病率为1.2%。根据世界卫生组织对失明的定义,失明是指视力为20/400或更低,这一患病率比城市居住的白色美国人(0.43%)或非洲裔美国人(1.02%)高出数倍。[3]比失明的总患病率更令人吃惊的是,1.4%的人患有原发性闭角型青光眼,0.5%的人患有原发性开角型青光眼。换句话说,在这个种族同质的人群中,原发性房角关闭占青光眼病例的4分之3。此外,6.4%的人群在前房角镜检查中被判定为具有可闭合角。
Available dataon blindness in Asia suggest a prevalence of blinding eye disease of between 0.2% and 1.5%, with an average of 1.2%. 1 In their article on glaucoma in Mongolia, Foster and colleagues 2 report a 1.2% age-adjusted prevalence of blinding eye disease among a randomly selected population aged 40 years and older. This prevalence, using the World Health Organization's definition of blindness, which is a visual acuity of 20/400 or less, is several times higher than that reported for urban-dwelling white Americans (0.43%) or African Americans (1.02%). 3 More striking than the overall prevalence of blindness are the findings that 1.4% of this population has primary angle-closure glaucoma and that 0.5% has primary open-angle glaucoma. In other words, among this ethnically homogeneous population, primary angle closure accounts for 3 of 4 cases of glaucoma. Moreover, 6.4% of the population was judged to have occludable angles on gonioscopic examination.
