原发性开角型青光眼的早期诊断

Early diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma

青光眼是全世界成人致盲的主要眼病。原发性开角型青光眼做为青光眼的一种类型,其特点是病程进展较为缓慢,多数没有明显症状,不易早期发现。许多患者就诊时已经出现了较严重的视功能障碍,且近年来该病患病率在临床上所占的比例有所上升。而对原发性开角型青光眼的早期诊断,是延缓或停止视功能进行性损害的关键。因此,综合国内外近年来相关文献,对原发性开角型青光眼的早期诊断做以下综述。

Glaucoma is a leading cause of adult blindness. Primary open angle glaucoma （POAG） is one kind of glaucoma with quite slow development and without apparent symptom. It is difficult to find and diagnose POAG earlier, and so many patients have had serious disability in vision when they go to see a doctor. Recently, the incidence of POAG has increased to a certain degree. Early diagnosis of POAG is critical to postpone or prevent progressive injuries of visual function. On the basis of the recent studies, there is a review about early diagnosis of POAG.
