AIM: To carry on the physical examination for staff who were 40 years old and above in the University of Science and Technology Beijing in order to understand staff's eye state. METHODS: By reviewing the physical examination report of the staff in 2007, 2101 teachers and staff aged 40 years old and above were selected from 2 890 people in our university and divided into four groups ranging from 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 years old and above to discover the main ophthalmopathy which affected vision and to analyze age section distribution. RESULTS: Five kinds of ophthalmopathies with high prevalence rate from high to low were ocular fundus arteriosclerosis(4.6%), vitreous opacity (1.8%) , senile cataract (1.6%), optic disc (C/D) anomaly(0.7%), age-related macular degeneration (0.4%). The others' positive rate increased obviously along with age except C/D anomaly. CONCLUSION: Senile cataract, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration are the main ophthalmopathies which affect the vision.LA: Chinese
