Abstract

The effect of ultra violet light (DV) on CATARACT and PTERYGIUM has been studied in many researches, but research on joint occurrence of these two ophtical diseases is quite few. This study was designed to study the effect of ultra violet light (UV) on occurrence of CATARACT and ptrygium in Bandar Abbas and Tehran with different geographical situations from intensity of sun light point of view. 100 patients in Bandar Abbas and 65 patients in Tehran, suffering from at least one of the mentioned ophthical diseases who referred to ophthalmology clinics were chosen as cases and for each case a person with no ophthical problem was randomly selected as control. Control groups were matched by age and sex. All cases were examined for severity and type of ophthalmic disease by slat lamp and ophtholmoscope and visual acuity was also examined by E-Chart. For each of the cases and controls a questionnaire containing demographic characteristics, some risk factors and the number of hours each person exposes to strong sunlight was completed. Patients with some known risk factors such as diabetics, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, eye trauma, corticosteroid therapy, cigarette smoking and use of spectacles were excluded from the study. Results show that joint occurrence of CATARACT and PTERYGIUM in Bandar Abbas is 8 times more than it in Tehran (66.66% and 8.5%, respectively). Moreover, relative risk of more than ten hours direct exposure of sun light and occurrence of at least one of the mentioned ophthalmic diseases was 10.49 and 1.9 in Bandar Abbas and Tehran, respectively. It seems that the main reason for occurrence of ophthalmic diseases in Bindar Abbas is UV, whereas, CATARACT and ptrygium in Tehran is mostly age related.
