Forty-four eyes in 25 black patients are compared with 92 eyes of 47 white patients in a population with ocular hypertension followed up for 1 to 12 years in a glaucoma clinic. The black patients present at a younger age than the whites and their mean initial intraocular pressure is significantly higher. The fact that more black ocular hypertensives developed glaucoma--8 eyes (18.1%) in the black population as compared with 5 eyes (5.4%) in the white population--is attributed to these two differences.
在一家青光眼诊所,对25名黑人患者的44只眼睛与47名白人患者的92只眼睛进行了比较,这些患者患有高眼压症,随访时间为1至12年。黑人患者比白人患者就诊时年龄更小,他们的平均初始眼压明显更高。更多的黑人高眼压症患者发展为青光眼这一事实——黑人患者中有8只眼睛(18.1%),而白人患者中有5只眼睛(5.4%)——归因于这两个差异。
