An eight-week general practice based prospective study was carried out to determine the incidence and prevalence of various eye conditions and the frequency of prescription of different topical eye preparations. The most frequently diagnosed eye conditions were infectious conjunctivitis (35%), glaucoma (16%), allergic conjunctivitis (11%), and keratoconjunctivitis sicca (9%). Betamethasone was the fourth most commonly prescribed preparation (9%). Eye preparations containing steroids accounted for 14% of prescriptions. Two cases of steroid induced glaucoma are presented as an illustration of the potential hazards of these preparations. The pathogenesis of steroid induced glaucoma is discussed.
开展了一项为期八周基于全科医疗的前瞻性研究，以确定各种眼部疾病的发病率和患病率，以及不同局部眼部制剂的处方频率。最常诊断出的眼部疾病为感染性结膜炎（35%）、青光眼（16%）、过敏性结膜炎（11%）和干眼性角结膜炎（9%）。倍他米松是第四最常用的制剂（9%）。含类固醇的眼部制剂占处方的14%。现报告两例类固醇性青光眼病例，以说明这些制剂的潜在危害。并对类固醇性青光眼的发病机制进行了讨论。
