<h3>Objective</h3> To study the distribution of refractive errors among adults European descent. <h3>Design</h3> Population-based eye in Germany with15 010 participants aged 35–74 years. <h3>Methods</h3> The underwent a detailed ophthalmic examination according to standardised protocol. Refractive error was determined by an automatic refraction device (Humphrey HARK 599) without cycloplegia. Definitions for analysis were myopia <−0.5 dioptres (D), hyperopia >+0.5 D, astigmatism >0.5...
Purpose: Effective glaucoma therapy relies to a great extent on the patients' ability regularly self-administer eye drops. This study aimed assess self-reported nonadherence and identify potential barriers adherence in patients. Methods: Participants completed 16-item questionnaire, designed examine rate experience. Inclusion criteria stipulated treatment duration of at least 1 year. Nonadherence was defined as missing ≥5% prescribed pressure-lowering drops doses. Results: In total, 201...
Main objective To evaluate the distribution of central corneal thickness (CCT) in a large German cohort and to analyse its relationship with intraocular pressure further ocular factors. Design Population-based, prospective, study. Methods The Gutenberg Health Study (GHS) included 4,698 eligible enrollees 5,000 subjects (age range 35–74 years) who participated survey from 2007 2008. All participants underwent an ophthalmological examination including slitlamp biomicroscopy, measurement,...
Some 70% of all cases blindness in Germany are due to diseases old age. As the population at large is aging, prevalence and visual impairment would be expected rise. To assess this, we studied trends over past three decades.We calculated age- sex-standardized using data from archive blind registry Rhineland Regional Council (Landschaftsverband Rheinland, LVR) for years 1978 2006. We then validated findings with aid on Statistics Severe Disability (Schwerbehindertenstatistik, SBS) that...
The main objective of this analysis was to assess the impact severity disease on quality life (QoL) patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) and early, moderate, or advanced primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).This multicenter study conducted at 2 university hospitals 13 ophthalmology practices in Germany. QoL data were assessed by Health Utility Index (HUI3) 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25).154 (17.5% OHT, 27.9% 22.7% 31.8% POAG) included. HUI3 scores...
The distribution of visual impairment is an indicator the health status population and for frequency diseases eye.
To describe the development of prevalence blindness and low vision in German population between 1993 2009 with respect to major demographic changes investigate how would have developed without aging.Investigation for on basis official statistics severely handicapped people 2009. Age-specific rates based a standardized were calculated progression is demonstrated.The overall Germany increased by 12.3% from 314,404 352,943 subjects. The absolute number blind or visually impaired persons eldest...
Most definitions of visual impairment focus on the status better-seeing eye only, but this approach might underestimate influence worse-seeing vision-related quality life (VRQoL). We assessed distance-corrected acuity in both eyes and VRQoL using "National Eye Institute 25-Item Visual Function Questionnaire" (NEI VFQ-25) German population-based Gutenberg Health Study. calculated Rasch-based functioning scale (VFS) socioemotional (SES). categorized (BE) (WE) as follows: (1) no (VI) (< 0.32...
Objectives: Little is known about the specific association of vision loss and psychosocial outcome measures in contrast to other health limitations. The aim this study was identify whether problems are associated with outcomes among middle-aged older adults compare it between chronic conditions factors.Method: Cross-sectional data came from wave 5 (2014) German Ageing Survey which a representative sample non-institutionalized individuals ≥ 40 years Germany. Psychosocial (life satisfaction,...

Moclobemide was compared with placebo for antidepressant activity, tolerance and safety in 2 parallel groups of 23 24 depressed patients. At the end treatment (4 weeks or longer), 9 patients on moclobemide (41%) showed an improvement >50% Hamilton Rating Scale Depression, only 4 (17%) those placebo. The overall assessment efficacy significantly better (good very good results 50% patients) than (80% poor results). well tolerated by 85% 100%. thus shown to be clearly more effective slightly...
