The causes of blindness in 105 consecutive legally blind patients were analyzed in a large urban multidisciplinary medical center. It was found that the leading causes of blindness, in order of frequency of incidence, were glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, senile macular degeneration, and cataract. The periodic collection of statistics on the relative frequency of the causes of blindness is strongly suggested so that possible changes and improvements in health care may be determined.
在一家大型城市多学科医疗中心，对连续105例法定盲人患者的失明原因进行了分析。结果发现，按发病率排序，失明的主要原因依次为青光眼、糖尿病视网膜病变、老年性黄斑变性和白内障。强烈建议定期收集失明原因相对频率的统计数据，以便确定医疗保健方面可能的变化和改进。
