目的:近视患病率在全球范围内不断增加,在亚洲发现的比率最高。来自欧洲国家的数据很少。我们的目的是调查近视的患病率是否在我们的经络中上升。
方法:回顾性分析2008-2017年征兵期间男性应征者的数据。招聘年份,应征入伍\'出生年份,视敏度,屈光状态(等效球面),和眼镜磨损(是/否)可用。
结果:数据集包含总共355,657名男性应征入伍者的数据,他在2008年至2017年被招募。每年的平均应征入伍人数为35,566(MD=35,440,SD=1249),2017年的最低征兵人数为33,998人,2011年的最高人数为37,594人。招募时的平均年龄为19.7岁(MD=19.0岁,SD=1.1年)。总的来说,在观察时间内,佩戴眼镜的应征者人数保持稳定;招募时,平均29.6%(n=10,540;MD=10,472;SD=492)的应征者佩戴眼镜.在21.8%(n=77,698)的应征者中,屈光状态的数据可用:右眼和左眼的平均等效球面为-2.3D(MD=-2D,SD=2.4D)。在观察期内,每个招募年的平均球形当量没有下降。估计的近视患病率平均达到27.5%(SD=0.8%),并且在观察期间没有增加。
结论:总之,在2008-2017年期间,未发现瑞士应征入伍的男性球面等效屈光不正的变化.同样,眼镜佩戴者的百分比(MN=29.6%)和估计近视患病率(MN=27.5%)在观察时间内没有显著增加.

OBJECTIVE: Myopia prevalence is increasing globally, with the highest rates found in Asia. Data from European countries is scarce. We aimed to investigate whether the prevalence of myopia is rising in our meridians.
METHODS: Data from male military conscripts for the recruitment period of 2008-2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Year of recruitment, conscripts\' birth year, visual acuity, refractive status (spherical equivalent), and spectacle wear (yes/no) were available.
RESULTS: The dataset contained data of a total of 355,657 male conscripts, who had been recruited in the years 2008 to 2017. The mean number of conscripts per year was 35,566 (MD = 35,440, SD = 1249), reaching a minimum number of 33,998 conscripts in 2017 and a maximum of 37,594 in 2011. Mean age at recruitment was 19.7 years (MD = 19.0 years, SD = 1.1 years). Overall, the number of conscripts wearing spectacles remained stable over the observation time; on average 29.6% (n = 10,540; MD = 10,472; SD = 492) of conscripts wore glasses at recruitment. Of 21.8% (n = 77,698) of conscripts, data on the refractive status was available: The mean spherical equivalent for both right and left eyes was -2.3D (MD = -2 D, SD = 2.4 D). No decrease in mean spherical equivalent per recruitment year was noted over the observation period. Estimated myopia prevalence reached an average of 27.5% (SD = 0.8%) and did not increase during the observation period.
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, no change in spherical equivalent refractive errors of male Swiss army conscripts was found for the years 2008-2017. Equally, the percentage of spectacle wearers (MN = 29.6%) and estimated myopia prevalence (MN = 27.5%) did not significantly increase during the observation time.
