Open-angle glaucoma is one of the main causes of visual impairment and blindness worldwide and also in Germany. Because open-angle glaucoma involves the irreversible loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, which results in irreversible visual field and visual acuity impairments, early detection of the disease is crucial. This article presents and evaluates the epidemiology and risk factors for open-angle glaucoma.
开角型青光眼是全球以及德国视力损害和失明的主要原因之一。由于开角型青光眼涉及视网膜神经节细胞及其轴突的不可逆损失,这会导致不可逆的视野和视力损害,因此疾病的早期检测至关重要。本文介绍并评估了开角型青光眼的流行病学和危险因素。
