我国眼科医生对于近视与间歇性外斜视交互影响认知度的调查分析OACSTPCD

Objective This study aims to examine and analyze the cognitive understanding of Chinese ophthalmolo-gists regarding the interplay between myopia and intermittent exotropia(IXT).Methods Two hundreds and ten ophthal-mologists were enrolled in the 27th Congress of Chinese Ophthalmological Society(CCOS).Self-designed questionnaires were used.The questionnaire comprises fundamental details and the cognitive understanding of the correlation between myo-pia and IXT.This section aims to examine the variations among ophthalmologists.Results A total of 210 questionnaires were disseminated,out of which 184 questionnaires were deemed valid upon receipt.There are 51 males and 133 females.Work-ing years ranged from 8 months to 40 years,with an average of 10.44±7.20 years.114 interviewees(61.96％)can dis-tinguish IXT from exotropia,while 70 interviewees(38.04％)could not distinguish or could not clearly distinguish.The longer the working years,the higher the professional title,ophthalmologists specializing in strabismus and pediatric oph-thalmology or optometry,the higher the recognition,the difference was statistically significant(x2=14.962,P=0.005;x2=19.595,P=0.000;x2=15.789,P=0.000).When judging the relationship between IXT and myopia,the accuracy of ophthalmologists involved in strabismus and pediatric ophthalmology or optometry is higher,and the difference is statistically significant(x2=12.263,P=0.000).More than half of ophthalmologists choose low concentration atropine(59.24％)in preventing and treating myopia in patients with IXT.However,during the follow-up of these patients,as many as 58.15％of ophthalmologists did not have any visual function examination at all.27.72％doctors never check the eye position when choosing preventive measures for myopia patients.When popularizing the relationship between IXT and myopia,authoritative guide and expert consensus are still the first choice for ophthalmologists(90.76％).Conclusions At present,ophthalmologists do not know enough about the relationship between myopia and IXT,so it is necessary to further strengthen the training of ophthalmologists with short working years and low professional titles,whose majors do not involve strabismus and pediatric ophthalmology or optometry.Guidance and expert consensus are needed to popularize the relationship between myopia and and IXT.
