本文以浅显的语言分析眼疾,美国人中患眼疾者的数量之多,令人震惊。cataracts(白内障)和glaucoma(青光眼)是两个主要的致盲因素。目前,对前者的有效治疗手段是外科手术;而后者的起因虽不甚明了,但其治疗的方法似乎比前者多些。另一个值得注意的现象是:diabetes(糖尿病)也可能导致眼疾,甚至失明。文章还提及了其他导致眼疾或失明的情况,同样值得我们一读。 This article analyzes eye diseases in plain language. The number of people suffering from eye diseases in Americans is astonishing. Cataracts (cataracts) and glaucoma (glaucoma) are two major blinding factors. At present, the effective treatment for the former is surgery; while the latter’s cause is not clear, but its treatment seems to be more than the former. Another notable phenomenon is that diabetes can also cause eye problems and even blindness. The article also mentions other conditions that cause eye diseases or blindness, which is also worth our reading.
