To investigate the frequency of eye disorders in heavy vehicle drivers.
A cross-sectional type study was conducted between November 2004 and September 2006 in 200 driver and 200 non-driver persons. A complete ophthalmologic examination was performed, including visual acuity, and dilated examination of the posterior segment. We used the auto refractometer for determining refractive errors.
According to eye examination results, the prevalence of the refractive error was 21.5% and 31.3% in study and control groups respectively (P<0.05). The most common type of refraction error in the study group was myopic astigmatism (8.3%) while in the control group simple myopia (12.8%). Prevalence of dyschromatopsia in the rivers, control group and total group was 2.2%, 2.8% and 2.6% respectively.
A considerably high number of drivers are in lack of optimal visual acuity. Refraction errors in drivers may impair the traffic security.
调查重型车辆驾驶员眼部疾病的发生率。
2004年11月至2006年9月,对200名驾驶员和200名非驾驶员进行了一项横断面研究。进行了全面的眼科检查,包括视力检查和后段散瞳检查。我们使用自动验光仪来确定屈光不正。
根据眼部检查结果,研究组和对照组的屈光不正患病率分别为21.5%和31.3%(P<0.05)。研究组最常见的屈光不正类型是近视散光(8.3%),而对照组是单纯性近视(12.8%)。驾驶员组、对照组和总人群中色觉异常的患病率分别为2.2%、2.8%和2.6%。
相当多的驾驶员视力不佳。驾驶员的屈光不正可能会损害交通安全。
