Age-Related Cataract in the Tibet Eye Study

Prevalence and service assessment of cataract in Tibetan areas of Sichuan Province, China: population-based study

“…There was a higher prevalence of cataract VI and lower CSC in women, compared with men, which contrasts studies from other areas China 7 10. However, it is consistent with results from previous eye studies in Tibet and neighbouring countries 16 17 27 29. This suggests that planning future cataract services will need to ensure that Tibetan people, herdsmen and women are included.…”

“…The prevalence of cataract BL found in our study is also lower than that in neighbouring countries of Pakistan (2004),27 Nepal (2006)28 and India (2007)29 but similar to that in other areas of China (Jiangxi in 2007, Nine-province Study in 2006 and Harbin in 2005) 7 10 30. This likely results from the higher CSR in TAPK, which counteracted the higher prevalence of cataract16 compared with other rural areas in China 10…”

“…Cortical cataract was the most commonly observed state in this study, in agreement with the findings in Shika, Japan [2,7] and Tibet [8]. The ratio of nuclear cataract in each age group in this study was significantly higher compared with that in Shika.…”
