简介：目的：研究视网膜血管疾病在印度喜马偕尔邦丘陵地带（海拔500～4500m）的患病模式/分布。方法：对西姆拉三级医院眼科自2008-08/2013-04期间的视网膜疾病患者进行回顾/前瞻性研究。选取5600位中的4323名患者作为研究对象。该数据均来自于医院记录,随后根据患者的年龄,性别分布情况和诊断结果进行分析。所有患者都进行了视力,屈光,裂隙灯和眼底检查。以眼底临床记录和眼底照相记录来确定诊断。应用眼底照像机（KowaFundusCameraVX-10）进行照相,必要时进行眼底荧光素血管造影。结果：在4323例患者中,男性视网膜疾病患者有2563例（59.29%）,多于女性1760例（40.71%）。在525例（12.14%）糖尿病视网膜病变患者中,轻度非增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变133例（3.08%）,中度156例（3.60%）,重度120例（2.78%）,增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变116例（2.68%）。在393例（9.10%）高血压性视网膜病变患者中,I级高血压性视网膜病变患者130例（3.01%）,II级111例（2.57%）,III级131例（3.03%）,IV级21例（0.49%）。在660例（15.27%）其他视网膜血管疾病中,视网膜分支静脉阻塞229例（5.30%）,视网膜中央静脉阻塞55例（1.27%）,半视网膜中央静脉阻塞8例（0.19%）,视网膜中央动脉阻塞20例（0.46%）,视网膜分支动脉阻塞4例（0.09%）,眼部缺血综合征1例（0.02%）,早产儿视网膜病变9例（0.21%）,视网膜大动脉瘤5例（0.12%）,近中心凹毛细血管扩张6例（0.14%）,贫血性视网膜病变16例（0.37%）,白血病视网膜病变10例（0.23%）,视网膜前出血52例（1.20%）,Coats病8例（0.19%）,睫状视网膜动脉阻塞1例（0.02%）例,Eales病10例（0.23%）,血管炎17例（0.39%）以及有临床意义的黄斑水肿209例（4.83%）。结论：糖尿病视网膜病变是最常见的视网膜血管疾病。视网膜疾病已经成为印度一个主要公共卫生问题。此研究将有利于对喜�
