西藏白内障现状白内障是一种多发病,如果不及时治疗,将导致失明。西藏白内障发病率为14．6％,按照全区人口263万计算,全区有白内障患者36万人,比中国其它地区(相同年龄和性别人口的白内障发病率)约高出60％; 盲人中白内障患者占50．7％,全西藏自治区有白内障盲人16988名。在西藏工作年龄人口(15岁≤年龄 <50岁)和儿童中,白内障也是第一位致盲眼病。但专家指出,工作年龄人口患白内障患者大多数是可治疗的。但由于白内障盲人的积累和新发白内障盲人的增加,加上白内障复明手术成本高,缺乏精密度高的设备以及眼科队伍较薄弱等原因,使得西藏防盲治盲的任务十分艰巨。
Status of cataract in Tibet Cataract is a frequently-occurring disease that can lead to blindness if left untreated. The incidence of cataract in Tibet is 14.6%. According to the population of 2.63 million in the district, there are 360,000 cataract patients in the region, which is approximately 60% higher than that in other parts of China (cataract incidence of the same age and gender population). Cataract patients accounted for 50.7%, and there were 16,988 cataract blind people in the entire Tibet Autonomous Region. Cataracts are also the first blind eye disease among Tibetan working age population (15 years old≤50 years old) and children. However, experts pointed out that most people with cataract who are working-age people are treatable. However, due to the accumulation of cataract blind people and the increase of newly-developed cataract blind people, coupled with the high cost of cataract surgery, lack of high-precision equipment and weak ophthalmology teams, the task of preventing blindness in Tibet is extremely difficult.
