| Abstract |
|
To evaluate the related risk factors of the senile cataract, we performed an epidemiological study in 215 cataract patients and 64 non cataract patients who visited to the Department of Ophthalmology of 6 general hospitals in Korea from August to December, 1990. The study revealed that sun-light exposure, smoking, ocular contusion and pregnancy were related to the cataract formation. And also the cataract was more common in patients with diabetes, hypertension and arthritis. And long term use of steroids and herb drugs were a risk factor for the cataractogenesis. The cataract patients preferred grains and fishes comparing with the non-cataract patiens. |
