摘要
黄斑区随着年龄增长而发生的变化称为年龄相关性黄斑变性(Age-relatedMacular Degeneration,AMD),或称老年性黄斑变性(Senile Macular Degenera-tion,SMD)。这是目前65岁以上老年人视力丧失的首要原因。在美国老年人失明或低视力的眼病依次为老年性白内障、老年性黄斑变性、开角型青光眼,糖尿病性视网膜病变。自从开展显微眼科手术以来,白内障较早手术,术后不论是人工晶体植入或配戴合适的眼镜,均能恢复一定的视力,故白内障致盲的重要性已明显减低,而年龄相关性黄斑变性的严重性却相对地变得更为突出。
2000 eyes of 1000 cases which had followed up for 10 years was studiedin this paper. Age: 60-95 years. Male: 909cases. Female: 91 cases. Theincidence rate of the Age-related Macular Degeneration: 8.9%. (6.7%counted by the quantity of eyes). The statistical analysis shows thatthe incidence rate is increased with age
