Abstract

Background and objective

Conducting a national visual health survey and comparing results after 5 years.

Materials and methods

Cross-sectional study using a computer-assisted telephone interview with a representative sample of Spaniards over 18 years of age (except Ceuta and Melilla). The survey was designed by ophthalmologists, the selection of the sample and the conduct of the interviews (April 2017 and May 2023) was carried out through the company Metroscopia and the analysis of the anonymous data was carried out by researchers. Demographic data, knowledge about glaucoma, use of glasses, perceived visual quality, ophthalmological pathology and ocular treatments were collected.

Results

1209 and 600 people were interviewed in 2017 and 2023, respectively. The level of glaucoma awareness went from 80 to 87%. The perceived visual quality was reduced (8.2 ± 1.6 to 6.9 ± 1.8) and the frequency of access to the ophthalmologist. The prevalence of glasses use increased (50 to 62%), dry eye (13 to 28%), cataract (9.7 to 12.4%), glaucoma (1.9 to 4.6%), age-related macular degeneration (7 to 11.3%), and diabetic retinopathy (1.2 to 1.7%). The use of artificial tears and glaucoma drops also increased (16.9 to 32.9% and 1.6 to 6%, respectively).

Conclusions

The study shows that there has been an increase in self-reporting of eye diseases in recent years in Spain. These types of population surveys can serve to encourage the development of visual health programs aimed at the needs of our country.

西班牙人口视力健康调查

背景与目的开展全国视力健康调查，并对5年后的结果进行比较。材料和方法采用计算机辅助电话访谈的横断面研究，对18岁以上的西班牙人（休达和梅利利亚除外）的代表性样本进行调查。该调查由眼科医生设计，样本的选择和访谈（2017年4月至2023年5月）由Metroscopia公司进行，研究人员对匿名数据进行分析。收集患者的人口统计学资料、青光眼知识、眼镜使用情况、感知视觉质量、眼科病理和眼部治疗。结果2017年和2023年分别采访了1209人和600人。青光眼知晓率从80%提高到87%。感知视觉质量从8.2±1.6降至6.9±1.8，就诊频率降低。眼镜使用率增加（50 - 62%），干眼症（13 - 28%），白内障（9.7 - 12.4%），青光眼（1.9 - 4.6%），年龄相关性黄斑变性（7 - 11.3%），糖尿病视网膜病变（1.2 - 1.7%）。人工泪液和青光眼眼药水的使用也有所增加（分别为16.9 ~ 32.9%和1.6 ~ 6%）。结论：研究表明，近年来西班牙自报眼病的人数有所增加。这些类型的人口调查可以鼓励针对我国需求的视觉健康项目的发展。
