Abstract

Objective: To investigate the incidence of asthenopia in the general public in China and the factors that influence it. Methods: This was a cross-sectional investigation. A questionnaire was distributed to the general public in China from June 2016 to January 2017 by paper and the internet. The questionnaire included three main dimensions: Eye discomfort, visual symptoms and systemic symptoms. Results: A total of 1 909 valid questionnaires were collected from 163 cities in 24 provinces and were included in this cross-sectional investigation study. The incidence of ocular complaints and dry eye was 13.28% and 16.26%, which were the most common symptoms in the eye discomfort dimension. The incidence of ocular complaints and dry eye was significantly higher in people over 40 years of age than in people below 40 years of age (χ2=13.359, P<0.001; χ2=9.870, P=0.002). Among people who had dry eye, there was a 44.85% incidence of ocular complaints and there was a 54.66% incidence of dry eye among people who had ocular complaints. There was a significant correlation between dry eye and ocular complaints (r=0.407, P=0.01). The incidence of blur and blur that cleared after blinking was 11.51% and 11.95%, respectively, which were the most common symptoms in the visual symptom dimension. The incidence of hard to focus and forgetful, and slower reading speed were 13.05% and 13.13%, respectively, which were the most common symptoms in the systemic symptom dimension. Age was significantly related to these symptoms (OR=1.02, P=0.008; OR=1.02, P<0.001). Conclusions: The incidence of different asthenopia symptoms in the general public in China is high, including eye discomfort, visual symptoms and systemic symptoms. Age and amount of time working at near distance are important factors for eye discomfort. Age is the important factor for the visual and systemic symptoms of asthenopia. Key words: asthenopia; eye discomfort; visual symptom; systemic symptom

中国普通民众视疲劳及相关因素调查

目的:了解中国普通人群的视疲劳发生率及其影响因素。方法:采用横断面调查。从2016年6月至2017年1月，通过纸质和互联网向中国公众发放了一份调查问卷。问卷主要包括三个维度:眼睛不适、视觉症状和全身症状。结果:在全国24个省163个城市共收集有效问卷1909份，纳入横断面调查研究。眼病和干眼的发生率分别为13.28%和16.26%，是眼部不适维度中最常见的症状。40岁以上人群的眼病和干眼发生率明显高于40岁以下人群(χ2=13.359, P<0.001;χ2 = 9.870,P = 0.002)。干眼症患者中干眼症发生率为44.85%，干眼症患者中干眼症发生率为54.66%。干眼症与眼病有显著相关性(r=0.407, P=0.01)。模糊和眨眼后消失的发生率分别为11.51%和11.95%，是视觉症状维度中最常见的症状。难以集中注意力、健忘、阅读速度慢的发生率分别为13.05%和13.13%，是系统症状维度中最常见的症状。年龄与这些症状显著相关(OR=1.02, P=0.008;或= 1.02,P < 0.001)。结论:中国普通人群中不同类型视疲劳症状的发生率较高，包括眼部不适、视觉症状和全身症状。年龄和近距离工作的时间是眼睛不适的重要因素。年龄是造成视疲劳的视觉和全身症状的重要因素。关键词:视弱视;眼睛不舒服;视觉症状;全身症状
