To present our studies concerning the causes of blindness in age-related macular degeneration, including the relationship with risk factors for this disease.
A total number of 158 eyes with AMD in 99 patients were examined. Among them there were 21 cases with visual acuity 0.1 or less in the better eye. This group of patients underwent a detailed analysis in order to determine the factors responsible for visual impairment in comparison to the patients with better visual function.
Blindness is connected mostly with exudative AMD. There are no significant differences in prevalence of risk factors for AMD between the group of patients with visual loss and that of patients with visual acuity above 0.1. The majority of patients referred to the ophthalmologist too late and on account of that is should be necessary to perform prophylactic examinations of the people above sixty.
介绍我们关于年龄相关性黄斑变性致盲原因的研究，包括与该疾病危险因素的关系。
对99例患者的158只患有年龄相关性黄斑变性的眼睛进行了检查。其中21例患者较好眼的视力为0.1或更低。对这组患者进行了详细分析，以便与视力较好的患者相比，确定导致视力损害的因素。
失明主要与渗出性年龄相关性黄斑变性有关。视力丧失患者组与视力高于0.1的患者组在年龄相关性黄斑变性危险因素的患病率上没有显著差异。大多数患者就医过晚，因此有必要对60岁以上人群进行预防性检查。
