摘要
青光眼是未成年人盲和低视力的重要原因之一，其致盲不可逆，未成年盲人由于预期寿命更长，将给个人和社会带来沉重负担。近年的流行病学研究发现，未成年人青光眼中先天性青光眼为最常见的类型，存在男女性别差异，多数需要手术治疗，且各亚型的发病率及构成比受种族、经济发展水平、卫生条件等原因的影响各有不同。这些流行病学资料能帮助我们对未成年人青光眼进行早期诊断、治疗，防止视功能的进一步损害。
As one of the most common irreversible eye diseases, pediatric glaucoma is an important cause of blindness and low vision in children. Due to the longer life expectancy, pediatric glancoma must be a heavy burden for individuals and society. Recently, domestic and international studies found that congeni- tal glaucoma was the most common subtype of pediatric glaucoma. What is more, there are gender differ- ences and high operation rate in pediatric glaucoma. The incidence and proportion of subtypes was different affected by race, economy and health conditions. These epidemiologic data can help us on early diagnosis and treatment, and preventing further visual loss.
