The motivation for this paper is that, having come from China, a country which had closed herself to the outside world for three decades, I thought it might be interesting to compare glaucoma in the two countries. Since I am from only a municipal hospital of a small city Hangzhow (a sister city of Boston), whatever I say can only be accepted as personal view points. Presently I have this wonderful opportunity to be a research fellow at the world wide famous Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary, which is affiliated with Harvard Medical School. The comparison therefore may not be exactly appropriate but may help to see where my country stands, what we have, what we lack and what goals to strive for to better the health of China. There may be some confusing terms in this paper such as 'Liberation', 'Cultural Revolution', etc. Table 1 may help give a clearer conception.
撰写本文的动机是，我来自中国，这个国家曾闭关锁国三十年，我认为比较两国的青光眼情况或许会很有意思。由于我仅来自杭州市（波士顿的姐妹城市）的一家市级医院，所以我所说的一切仅能被视为个人观点。目前我有幸能在与哈佛医学院相关联的世界著名的麻省眼耳医院担任研究员。因此，这种比较可能并不完全恰当，但或许有助于了解我国的现状、我们所拥有的、所欠缺的以及为改善中国人民健康状况而应努力追求的目标。本文中可能会有一些令人困惑的术语，如“解放”“文化大革命”等。表1或许有助于更清晰地理解。
