摘　　要：青光眼是全球范围内第二大致盲性眼病,然而由于青光眼公众知晓率低等原因,使得青光眼的未诊断率居高不下。即使在发达国家,约50%的青光眼患者尚未察觉自己已经患病而未作任何治疗;在发展中国家,这个数字更是高达90%。根据对国内以及国际上青光眼认知度调查的结果分析来看,提高青光眼公众知晓率已迫在眉睫。我们倡议通过更广泛的形式及途径开展青光眼的宣传教育,以及增强基层医院眼科医生的技能培训并装备必要的检查设备,期望能在较短时间内显著提高我国青光眼的公众知晓率和疾病诊断率。Although glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness globally, as the result of low public awareness rate and other reasons, the glaucoma diagnosis rate is always staying at a low level. Even in developed countries, up to 50% glaucoma patients not yet aware of their sick and without any treatment, furthermore, this number is as high as 90% in developing countries. Based on the analysis of the domestic and international researches, increasing the public awareness rate of glaucoma is in urgent need. By carrying out the propaganda of glaucoma in public, strengthening the training on ophthalmologists who are working in the primary hospital and allocating the necessary equipments, we hope the glaucoma awareness rate and diagnosis rate could be improved.
