Abstract
Purpose: In this study, we studied ocular disease by age in Ulsan. Methods: We checked medical record of 300 patients who visited eye clinic in Ulsan. Results: The main ocular disease on the age of 10 was keratitis, that of 20 was dry eye syndrome & keratitis, that of 30 was chalazion & conjunctivitis, that of 40~50 was conjunctivitis, that of 60 was conjunctivitis & cataract. Conclusions: The main cause of ocular disease of 10~20's are unsuitable wear of contact lenses & long-time use of smart phone as well as computer. That of 30~50's are allergic conjunctivitis and chemical material reaction as well as other several factors. Especially, attack rate of conjunctivitis of 30~50's is higher than city because of industrial area (Ulsan). The main cause of ocular disease in 50~60's is a kind of senility. Therefore, based on the results of this study, it could be used the basic data of education on ocular disease prevention in Ulsan.
