  • Look Inside

 We conducted an ophthalmological survey in Rishiri Island in October 2002. Out of 6,000 inhabitants,253 persons participated the program. They comprised 90males and 163 females. Their ages averaged 64.4 years. A total of 230 persons(91%)were aged 40 years or over. Visual acuity in the right eye was 1.0 or better in 54%and was 0.5 or less in 22%. Out of a toal of 506 eyes,following diseases were detected:cataract(51.7%),glaucoma(6.9%),diabetic retinopathy(4.4%),chorioretinal atrophy(4.0%),and posterior staphyloma(2.8%). Spherical equivalent of refraction in 223 right eyes averaged-0.3±3.1 diopters. In persons over 40 years of age,4.5%had myopia of-6 diopters or greater and 48.4%had hyperopia of+0.5 diopter or greater. The intraocular pressure in persons aged 40 years or over averaged 13.5±2.9mmHg. Inhabitants in Rishiri Island thus had a higher incidence of hyperopia and high myopia when compared with previous reports in other parts of Japan. High incidence of chorioretinal atrophy and posterior staphyloma appeared to be related with that of high myopia.
