The Nut and Bolts of Pediatric Cataract Management
Abstract
ภาวะตาบอดในเด็ก (childhood blindness) ตามองค์การอนามัยโลกได้ให้คำจำกัดความเด็กที่มีอายุน้อยกว่า 16 ปี ที่มีระดับการมองเห็นแย่กว่า 3/60 เข้าข่ายภาวะตาบอด (blindness) และเด็กที่มีระดับการมองเห็นแย่กว่า 6/60 เข้าข่ายภาวะสายตาพิการรุนแรง (severe visual impairment)
จากการสำรวจสาเหตุของภาวะตาบอดในเด็กโดยการแบ่งตามรายได้ของกลุ่มประเทศพบว่า ภาวะต้อกระจกอยู่ในอันดับ 1 ใน 3 ของภาวะตาบอด และพบอัตราการเกิดต้อกระจกในเด็ก 1 ถึง 6 คนต่อ 10,000 คนของเด็กแรกคลอด ทั้งนี้ภาวะต้อกระจกเป็นภาวะตาบอดที่สามารถรักษาและป้องกันได้1 การตรวจคัดกรองเพื่อการวินิจฉัยและการรักษาต้อกระจกในเด็กอย่างเหมาะสม สามารถทำให้เด็กมีการมองเห็นที่ดีขึ้นและลดอัตราการเกิดภาวะตาบอดในเด็กได้
