简介：日益增长的白内障盲表明目前白内障手术数量还远远低于清除白内障积存数及服务新发病人的要求。经济状况越好,文化程度越高,对视力的要求也会越强烈,病人也会更早地要求实施白内障手术。老年人口的增加也会使得白内障手术的需求成倍增加。即使在印度,白内障手术率(CSR)高达每百万人口3250例,白内障手术率仍然需要提高2-3倍,才能有效地解决白内障盲的问题。在很多国家,白内障手术率甚至要提高10倍才能解决问题。增加白内障手术服务本身就是一个极大的挑战。同样具有挑战的是保证服务的质量。这需要不断增加的资源(扩充容量)及最大限度地使用现有资源(提高效率)。本文中讨论在现有服务制度下,如何扩充容量,提高效率,这正是很多地方所需要的。

简介：目的探讨干眼症发生的主要相关因素。方法选择2006年5月至2007年11月间眼科门诊就诊的屈光不正、眼底病患者及行常规体检的健康者133人为研究对象，主要包括问卷调查和干眼病检测两个部分。问卷调查内容有人口学特征、工作环境、生活习惯与全身疾病等。先进行单因素分析，找出与干眼症发病相关联的因素，然后再对有意义的因素进行多因素综合分析，找出干眼病发生的主要危险因素。结果单因素分析结果表明：与干眼症发病相关的因素有年龄、荧光屏接触时间、野外工作时间、工作环境、吸烟和糖尿病。行Logistic回归分析，最终有统计学意义的因素为：年龄、野外工作时间和工作环境。结论就纳入本研究的因素而言，影响干眼症发病的主要因素是年龄、野外工作时间和工作环境，而荧光屏接触时间、吸烟及罹患糖尿病在一定程度上影响着干眼病的发生。

简介：青光眼是一种严重的致盲眼病,致盲率高且不可逆转.其中,我国的原发性青光眼类型以原发性闭角型青光眼为主.近年来随着原发性青光眼诊断水平的不断提高,对原发性闭角型青光眼危险因素的研究更加深入,本文主要就其危险因素(人口统计学、跟部因素、遗传因素、精神心理因素等)进行综述,以期对预防及诊断有所帮助.

简介：青光眼是一种严重的致盲眼病,致盲率高且不可逆转,严重威胁患者的生活质量,近年来随着原发性青光眼诊断水平的不断提高,对POAG危险因素的研究更加深入,本文主要就原发性开角型青光眼的危险因素(年龄、性别、种族、遗传因素、眼内压、血压、吸烟、饮酒、近视、糖尿病等)进行综述,以期对预防及诊断有所帮助。

简介：目的探讨原发性闭角型青光眼（primaryangle—closureglaucoma，PACG）发病的危险因素，寻找有意义的早期筛查指标，指导早期临床预防性治疗。方法收集60例PACG患者和50例健康对照者的视力、眼压、眼睑、晶状体、眼底、前房深度、房角镜、视野等基本眼科检查及年龄、性别、家族史、糖尿病、高血压病，有无吸烟史、饮酒史等资料进行分析。结果单因素分析显示与PACG具有较显著联系的有高血压病和前房深度、角膜横径、睫状体晶状体距离。非条件Logistic回归分析发现只有前房深度有统计学意义（P〈0．05），OR为2．687，95％可信区间为1．078～4．000。结论高血压病、浅前房、角膜横径小、睫状体晶状体距离小是PACG发病的危险因素，其中浅前房是PACG发病的独立危险因素。（中国眼耳鼻喉科杂志，2010，10：224-226）

简介：目的：评价青光眼患者的生存质量并探讨影响其生存质量的因素。方法：采用国家眼科研究所视功能问卷-25,对126例青光眼患者的生活质量进行评价。结果：青光眼患者的生存质量普遍下降,不同程度的视力损害明显影响着患者的生存质量得分（P〈0.01）。多因素逐步直线回归显示：生存质量的得分与年龄、经济收入、遵医行为有密切关系（P〈0.05）。结论：在保护青光眼患者视功能的同时,要重视其社会、心理等因素,给予其必要的健康教育和心理辅导,以期提高其生存质量。

简介：糖尿病性黄斑水肿（DME）是糖尿病患者视力下降的主要原因,但其发病确切机制目前尚不完全清楚,但可以明确的是多种因素参与了DME的发生和进展,本文就目前该病相关危险因素的研究进展作一概述。

简介：糖尿病性视网膜病变(Diabeticretinopathy,DR)是最为常见的致盲性眼底病变之一,其发病机制不明.长期以来,早期对于糖尿病性视网膜病变的治疗只是单纯控制血糖,但这并不能完全阻止糖尿病性视网膜病变的进一步发展.因此,研究全身相关因素的影响作用十分重要.近年来,国内外大量研究认为,许多全身因素对糖尿病性视网膜病变发生发展起重要作用.本文综述此方面成果,总结必须严格控制的相关危险因素,为最终通过全身综合干预以早期控制糖尿病性视网膜病变提供思路.

简介：目的：对影响糖尿病患者视网膜血管形态变化的相关因素进行分析。方法：选取2012-01/2016-09期间于本院就诊的2型糖尿病患者312例为研究对象。对患者进行、眼底摄片及相关实验室检查。以患者年龄、性别、病程、是否吸烟、饮酒,是否合并高血压、高血脂或糖尿病肾病等作为分组因素,比较不同组间患者出现视网膜血管形态变化的发生率,将有意义的因素再次引入Logistic回归方程,筛选出糖尿病患者视网膜血管形态变化的独立危险因素。结果：所选的312例2型糖尿病患者中,伴视网膜血管形态异常组169例,不伴视网膜血管形态异常组143例。单因素分析结果显示,年龄、病程、合并高血压、高血脂或糖尿病肾病与视网膜血管形态变化显著相关（P〈0.05）,性别、是否吸烟、饮酒等与视网膜血管形态异常的发生无显著相关性（P〉0.05）。将发生视网膜血管形态异常作为因变量,上述具有统计学意义的分组因素作为自变量,经Logistic逐步回归分析结果显示,病程、患者合并高血压或糖尿病肾病是发生视网膜血管形态异常的独立危险因素（P〈0.05）。结论：病程增加、患者合并高血压或糖尿病肾病是糖尿病患者发生视网膜血管形态变化的独立危险因素。早期诊断与干预,采取措施控制血压稳定,减少肾脏损害可降低视网膜血管病变的发生率,同时减少糖尿病所引发的大血管病变,减少心脑血管不良事件的发生。
