BACKGROUND
Mentally retarded patients are often found to have exposure corneal disease. No study could be found that documented the prevalence of this corneal disorder among these patients.
METHODS
A retrospective study was conducted on a population of 210 mentally retarded adults to determine the prevalence of clinically significant exposure keratopathy.
RESULTS
17.6 percent of this population was found to have this disorder mostly due to incomplete blinking.
CONCLUSIONS
Exposure keratopathy was found to be a significant ocular health problem among this population. Since many of these people cannot verbalize their discomfort it is recommended that the optometrist tailor his or her examination so this disorder is not overlooked and untreated.
背景
经常发现智障患者患有暴露性角膜疾病。未找到有研究记录该角膜疾病在这些患者中的患病率。
方法
对210名成年智障患者进行了一项回顾性研究，以确定具有临床意义的暴露性角膜病变的患病率。
结果
发现该人群中有17.6%患有这种疾病，主要原因是眨眼不完全。
结论
暴露性角膜病变被发现是该人群中一个重要的眼部健康问题。由于这些人中许多人无法表达他们的不适，建议验光师调整其检查方式，以免遗漏和忽视这种疾病。
