Abstract:
Objective To investigate dynamic changes of civil flying personnel's ocular fundus blood vessel and explore the possibility of taking ocular fundus photograph as an objective evidence for predicting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Methods In past 3 years the ocular fundus photographs of 904 flying personnel's, who were from the Northwest Branch of China Eastern Air Holding Company, were examined by fundus camera without mydriatic during annual physical examination. The correlation factors of retinal micro-vascular changes were analyzed and compared.Results Retinal arteriosclerosis was diagnosed from 87 f1ying personnel (9. 62%) and took the highest prevalence. Hypertension was the most hazardous to retinal arteriosclerosis. Retinal microaneurysm and retinal hemorrhage were related with metabolic syndrome. Two cases of retinal microaneurysm were newly found by reviewing fundus photographs that gathered in past 3 years.Conclusions The mydriatic-free fundus camera technique can objectively record the development of ocular retinal vessel change and can be used to monitor the occurrence and progress of the metabolic syndrome induced harm to target organ.
