摘　　要：老视,指因年龄增长,眼的调节能力不足以胜任日常视近需求的一种屈光状态,不仅影响人类视觉,影响整体生活质量,还可能引发安全问题,是一个备受关注的眼健康课题。随着老视研究不断推进,临床上已经形成行之有效的矫正方法系统,提升了老视者的视觉质量及生活质感。研究发现,老视症状的初发期在45~50岁之间,随着社会高度现代化发展所伴随的近距离阅读强度的增加,不少人在40岁左右就出现老视现象。而与此同时,人们对自身社会期望逐渐转向年轻和活力,对与年龄相关功能性问题易表现出敏感和逃避的态度。由于"老"字在中文中常用于表示"年纪大""晚年"等字义,并与"无用""负担"等负面词语相关联,给老视者带来了不必要的心理负担并影响其临床诊疗。因此,我们考虑,拟找出适宜的临床术语,既符合当前"老视"的科学内涵,又能避开老视早期者对"老"的避讳感受。现探讨和思考与"老视"重新命名相关的内容,并诚邀大家提供宝贵意见。Presbyopia refers to a refractive condition where the aging eyes lose the ability to accommodate properly for near vision,resulting in a diminished capacity to meet daily near visual demands.Beyond its direct impact on visual acuity and overall life quality,presbyopia also gives rise to safety concerns.This phenomenon has garnered considerable attention within the field of eye health,prompting ongoing research to develop effective correction methods that have proven successful in clinical practice.These advancements have significantly enhanced visual quality and the overall aesthetic experience for individuals grappling with presbyopia.Studies have found that presbyopia symptoms typically onset between the ages of 45 and 50.Due to the increased intensity of near-distance reading associated with highly modernized societies,many individuals experience presbyopia around the age of 40.Meanwhile,people's social expectations for themselves gradually shift towards youthfulness and vitality,making them sensitive and inclined to avoid age-related functional issues.However,the Chinese term for presbyopia,"lao shi",carries associations with"old age"and is laden with negative connotations such as"uselessness"and"burden".This psychological burden,coupled with its potential impact on clinical treatment,merits careful consideration.In light of this,there is contemplation regarding the adoption of more appropriate clinical terminology that aligns with the scientific essence of presbyopia while mitigating the avoidance sensitivity towards the term"old"in early-stage presbyopes.This article aims to explore and deliberate on the potential renaming of"presbyopia"and warmly invites valuable opinions from all perspectives.
