In the paper, we describe and discuss the results of epidemiological studies concerning myopia carried out in Poland.
Results from the examination of 5601 Polish school children and students (2688 boys and 2913 girls) aged 6 to 18 years were analyzed. The mean age was 11.9 ± 3.2 years. Every examined student had undergone the following examinations: distance visual acuity testing, cover test, anterior segment evaluation, and cycloplegic retinoscopy after instillation of 1% tropicamide, and a questionnaire was taken.
We have found that (1) intensive near work (writing, reading, and working on a computer) leads to a higher prevalence of myopia, (2) watching television does not influence the prevalence of myopia, and (3) being outdoors decreases the prevalence of myopia.
The results of our study point to insufficiency of accommodation contributing to the pathogenesis of myopia.
在本文中,我们描述并讨论了在波兰开展的关于近视的流行病学研究结果。
分析了对5601名6至18岁波兰学童和学生(2688名男孩和2913名女孩)的检查结果。平均年龄为11.9 ± 3.2岁。每位接受检查的学生都进行了以下检查:远视力测试、遮盖试验、眼前节评估、滴入1%托吡卡胺后的睫状肌麻痹视网膜检影,并且进行了问卷调查。
我们发现:(1)高强度的近距离工作(书写、阅读和使用电脑)会导致近视患病率升高;(2)看电视不会影响近视患病率;(3)户外活动会降低近视患病率。
我们的研究结果表明调节不足是近视发病机制的一个因素。
