| Summary: |
Purpose: To
evaluate the relationship between different ocular
factors and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Material and methods: 281 eyes with AMD diagnosed
with fundus fluorescein angiography were included to the
study and divided into two groups: with dry and
exudative type of AMD. 149 eyes without AMD consisted of
control group. We performed ophthalmic examination and
questionnaire. We collected data concerning exposition
to the sun, using of sunglasses and other factors.
Results: Arterial sclerosis in the retina was
associated with twice 2-fold increased risk (OR = 1.96)
of exudative AMD.There was not association of iris color,
using of sunglasses, work conditions and age-related
macular degeneration.
Conclusions: The coexistance of arterial
sclerosis in the retina suggests that vascular disorders
take part in pathogenesis of exudative type of AMD.
Factors like iris color, using of sunglasses and work
are not associated with the risk of AMD. |
