方法：本研究首先设计了一份关于白内障、青光眼及AMD知晓率及知识水平的结构化问卷，随后使用该问卷在成都市随机选择6个养老机构和四川大学华西医院非眼科门诊患者中进行了调查。本研究采用卡方检验分析各因素对于知晓率及知识水平的影响，并检验其他研究结果与本研究的差异。

结果：在所有调查对象中，白内障、青光眼及AMD的知晓率分别为89.9%， 68.9% 和12.5%； 在知晓相应疾病的人群中，具有一定知识水平的比例分别为70.9%， 48.1% 和44.9%； 教育程度影响三种眼病的知晓率，信息来源影响三种眼病的知识水平。白内障、青光眼及AMD 的自报患病所占比例分别为7.8%， 1.1%和 0.6%，40岁以上调查对象中分别为12.5%， 1.6%和 1.0%。在所有调查对象中，进行过视力测试、眼压测量及眼底检查的比例分别为72.1%， 17.9%和20.2%。

结论：首次根据本研究在中国大陆地区报道的相关数据，提高白内障、青光眼及AMD(尤其是后两者)知晓率及知识水平十分必要。同时，即便没有任何眼病史，我们也建议人们进行定期眼科检查。

METHODS:A structured questionnaire was first designed on the awareness and knowledge of the cataract, glaucoma, and AMD. The survey was then conducted in 6 randomly selected nursing homes from Chengdu and in outpatient clinics of non-ophthalmologic departments of West China Hospital with the questionnaire. Chi-square test was applied to determine a certain factor's impact on the awareness or knowledge rates and to determine the difference between awareness rates in our research and others' studies.

RESULTS:Of the participants, the awareness rates of the cataract, glaucoma and AMD were 89.9%, 68.9% and 12.5% respectively. Among the people aware of each disease, the knowledge rates of the cataract, glaucoma and AMD were 70.9%, 48.1% and 44.9%. Educational level was a factor affecting awareness rates of all three diseases; information source was a factor affecting the knowledge rates of each ocular disease. The self-reported prevalence of the cataract, glaucoma and AMD were 7.8%, 1.1%, 0.6% in all participants, and 12.5%, 1.6%, 1.0% in the participants over 40. The proportions of the participants having taken the visual acuity test, intraocular pressure examination, and fundus examination were 72.1%, 17.9%, and 20.2%.

CONCLUSION:According to the data firstly reported in mainland China in our study, it is necessary to improve people's awareness and knowledge of the cataract, glaucoma, and AMD, especially the latter two. Meanwhile, we suggest people taking regular ophthalmologic examinations even without a history of eye diseases.
