摘要：

Eighty-five percent of the persons aged 35 to 74 years and living in a suburban area of Kingston were examined in an ophthalmic survey to obtain data on the distribution of ocular pressure and the prevalences of the various forms of glaucoma in Jamaica. Intraocular pressures tended to rise with age and fall with successive measurements. Raised intraocular pressure was associated with myopia rather than with hypermetropia. The prevalence of chronic simple glaucoma and suspected low-tension glaucoma at 1.4% was higher in Jamaica than in Wales. © 1969.
