There is an assumption in Ghana that motherhood has an effect on presbyopia. This study thus attempts to correlate the relationship between presbyopia, age and number of births of mothers in the Kumasi area of Ghana. The data were compiled from records of patients who attended routine eye examinations and refraction tests at the Morny Optical Centre, Kumasi, during the last quarter of 1993. Presbyopia in males and females, and those of mothers and childless female adults for particular age groups were compared. Correlations were found between age and reading additions for both sexes, and presbyopia occurs at a younger age than published. This preliminary study does not indicate any inter-dependence of births on female presbyopia. Further studies with select data may be required to confirm the above findings.
在加纳，有一种假设认为生育会对老花眼产生影响。因此，本研究试图关联加纳库马西地区母亲的老花眼、年龄和生育数量之间的关系。数据收集自1993年最后一个季度在库马西的莫尔尼光学中心接受常规眼部检查和验光测试的患者记录。对特定年龄组的男性和女性、母亲以及无子女成年女性的老花眼情况进行了比较。发现两性的年龄与阅读附加度数之间存在相关性，并且老花眼出现的年龄比已公布的要早。这项初步研究并未表明生育与女性老花眼之间存在任何相互依存关系。可能需要用选定的数据进行进一步研究以证实上述发现。
