Purpose : Refractive error is the most common eye problem affecting vision of people of all ages. Additionally, as the population ages, it is expected that most people > 60 years will be at risk for many common causes of vision loss. Thus, considering that cataracts will occur, we evaluated the relationship between various factors affecting cataracts and refractive errors of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Methods : The raw data of ophthalmologic examination in March 2019, which was last revised in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, was used and a total of 7444 right eye monocular subjects were used. The myopia group was classified into myopia and myopic astigmatism, and the hyperopia group was classified into hyperopia and hyperopia. Astigmatism was divided into astigmatism, myopic astigmatism, and hyperopic astigmatism, and the relationship between the refractive error of each group and cataract was confirmed.
Results : The results of this study's logistic regression analysis and chi-square test showed that the presence of hyperopia and astigmatism had a significant statistical relationship with cataracts, and in particular, astigmatism was more significantly associated with cataracts. However, the relationship with cataracts based on gender did not show significant results.
Conclusions : A significant difference in the relationship with cataracts was confirmed when hyperopia and astigmatism were present, and it was confirmed that there was a more significant relationship with astigmatism.
