“…Chen et al [41] reported a prevalence of 57.08% for grade 1, 14.97% for grade 2, 2.36% for grade 3, and 0.03% for grade 4 HTR in 9793 subjects with hypertension. The prevalence of HTR was 12.9% in Babol, Iran in a study by Rasoulinejad et al [42] and 5.4% in Bangladesh in a study by Akhter et al [43] ; all of these results indicates lower prevalence of HTR in the present study. According to the present study, AL was shorter in patients with HTR compared to subjects without it.…”

AIM: To determine the prevalence of some retinal pathologies in people over 60y and their association with demographic and ocular factors. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Tehran using multistage cluster sampling. After selecting subjects aged 60 and over, optometric, and ophthalmic examinations were done. For retinal examination, a 90 D lens was used and indirect ophthalmoscopy was performed after instilling tropicamide drops. Biometry was done using the IOL Master for all participants. RESULTS: Of 3791 people that were invited through cluster sampling, 3310 participated in the study (response rate=82%). The prevalence of retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) change, drusen, geographic atrophy (GA), hypertensive retinopathy (HTR), nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), choroidal neovascularization (CNV), central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), myopic retinopathy (MR), branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) was 27.42%, 11.08%, 4.52%, 3.03%, 4.05%, 0.54%, 0.82%, 0.39%, 0.20%, 0.49%, and 0.19%, respectively. After removing the effect of age, the odds of NPDR were 1.68 times higher in women compared to men (P=0.014). After removing the effect of sex, the odds of drusen, RPE change, GA, CNV, BRVO, and CRVO increased with age. CONCLUSION: There is a higher prevalence of RPE change, drusen, GA, CNV and a lower prevalence of MR and CRAO in the elderly population of Tehran aged over 60y compared to global average values. Considering the correlation of most of the diseases with age and their effects on vision, attention should be paid to these diseases and the related screening programs to prevent vision impairment.
