PURPOSE
To assess the young people's knowledge regarding the ophthalmic effects of smoking.
METHODS
198 students (111 males and 87 females) with a mean age of 27 years old (+/- 6 years) participated in the study. A simple questionnaire was used and the participants were requested to fill out the questionnaire themselves.
RESULTS
77% (152) of the participants were smokers. 67% (130) have never heard about the adverse effect of smoking to the eyes. 87% (172) have not heard about the relationship between smoking and thyroid eye disease. 84% (166) were not aware that smoking could ccontribute to the formation of cataract. 50% (99) have no knowledge about the association between smoking and age-related macular degeneration. 80% (158) were unaware that smoking is a risk factor for visual loss.
CONCLUSIONS
The level of knowledge of young people regarding the ophthalmic effects of smoking is not satisfactory. There is an urgent need to promote the awareness of the population regarding the adverse effect of smoking on visual function.
目的
评估年轻人对吸烟眼部影响的了解程度。
方法
198名学生（111名男性和87名女性）参与了该研究，平均年龄为27岁（±6岁）。使用了一份简单的问卷，要求参与者自行填写。
结果
77%（152名）参与者为吸烟者。67%（130名）从未听说过吸烟对眼睛的不良影响。87%（172名）未听说过吸烟与甲状腺眼病之间的关系。84%（166名）不知道吸烟会导致白内障形成。50%（99名）不了解吸烟与年龄相关性黄斑变性之间的关联。80%（158名）不知道吸烟是视力丧失的一个风险因素。
结论
年轻人对吸烟眼部影响的了解程度并不令人满意。迫切需要提高公众对吸烟对视功能不良影响的认识。
