“…In another review, from low-and middle-income countries, Patel and West [1] found that more than half of adults over the age of 30 have presbyopia. Duarte et al, in Brazil estimated the prevalence of presbyopia in 3,000 adults of 30 years and older at 54.7 percent [22]. In southern India, Nirmalan et al, found a prevalence of 55 percent in subjects aged 30 years and older [23].…”

Background: Presbyopia is a natural part of the aging process of the eye in which the loss of flexibility of the crystalline lens takes place over a number of years. This study aimed to determine differences in age of onset and progression of presbyopia between smoking and non smoking patients in Qazvin-Iran. Material and methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was carried out in Boali Hospital in Qazvin-Iran between 2011 and 2012. Within the context of this survey, 304 eligible participants over 30 years age were randomly selected for interview and underwent nearvision testing. Of these, 152 participants were smokers and formed the case group and 152 non-smoking people were considered control participants. Functional presbyopia was defined as requiring at least +0.75 diopter in order to read the N8 optotype at a distance of 35 cm in the participant's usual visual state. Optometric and ophthalmologic examinations were performed on all participants. presbyopic correction coverage were calculated and the results were analyzed using SPSS Program with P<0.05. Resuts: A total of 304 participants' records were evaluated. Of those, 152 cigarette smokers were categorized as samples and 152 normal patients as control group. Eighty-five patients with ages between 39-40 year among smoking group needed to use glasses for near tasks, but nobody in normal group needed presbyopic glasses. There were significant differences in the age of onset and or progression of presbyopia were detected between smoking and normal patients (p<0.05). Conclusions: Our study is the first population-based investigation of presbyopia in Iran, with the aim of determining age of onset and progression of presbyopia among smoking people related to normal population. The results of this study indicate that the onset of presbyopia among smoking group was earlier than normal group. Statistically significant difference in the age of onset and progression of presbyopia was found between smoking and non-smoking patients.

“…According to the literature, the condition is related to epidemiological data such as age, sex, and social condition. This is because complaints of difficulties reading due to presbyopia depend on a person's educational or working needs as well as access to ophthalmic care (5,10,11) .…”

Purpuse: To determine the correlation between presbyopia and body mass index. Methods: Cross-sectional study involving 1030 patients with visual acuity of 20/20 emmetropy, aged between 36-40 years, 51-55 years and 60-65 years, excluding patients with positive test cover, anisometropy with convergence insufficiency or high correlation convergence / accommodation. Assessment of body mass index of all patients, Results: Cross-sectional study involving 1030 patients with visual acuity of 20/20 emmetropy, aged between 36-40 years, 51-55 years and 60-65 years, excluding patients with positive cover test, anisometropy with convergence insufficiency or high correlation convergence / accommodation. Assessment of body mass index of all patients Conclusion: As demonstrated by statistical analysis there is a significant correlation between low body weight defined as a body mass index below 18.5 and a lower incidence of presbyopia or delay its onset and progression with age.Keywords: Presbyopia; Low body weight; Body mass index RESUMO Dobras de coroide é considerado o achado fundoscópico mais prevalente nos casos de tumor orbitário. São ondulações no epitélio pigmentado da retina, membrana de Bruch, porção interna da coriocapilar e que, em alguns casos, podem acometer a retina neurossensorial, sendo então chamadas de dobras coriorretinianas. Diversas condições, oculares e sistêmicas, cursam com dobras de coroide e devem ser corretamente investigadas e, caso necessário, prontamente tratadas. Nesta revisão iremos abordar os aspectos gerais das dobras de coroide, enfatizando suas características nos seguintes exames de imagem: Retinografia, autofluorescência, angiofluoresceínografia e tomografia de coerência óptica.

“…Isso é reforçado pela consistência, com a literatura, das prevalências de diabetes melito, toxoplasmose, glaucoma, catarata e uso de correção, tanto na população geral, quanto nos de 50 anos ou mais 1,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28 . No caso da hipertensão arterial sistêmica, o presente estudo encontrou prevalência maior do que a encontrada por outro estudo realizado na mesma cidade.…”
