青光眼

    U2主唱波诺为什么总是戴着墨镜？原来是因为患有青光眼。请看本报昨日的报道：

    U2 frontman Bono has revealed the mystery behind his trademark sunglasses. The Irish rocker has glaucoma.

    Bono told British TV chat show host Graham Norton he had suffered from the condition for two decades, according to a preview clip released Friday ahead of the latest episode of BBC’s “The Graham Norton Show.”

    “This is a good place to explain to people that I’ve had glaucoma for the last 20 years. I have good treatments and I am going to be fine,” Bono said.

    报道中的glaucoma就是“青光眼”，是一种眼科病症(a group of ocular disorders)，会导致视神经损害(optic nerve damage)。常见的眼科问题还有cataract (白内障)，myopia (近视，通俗说法是nearsightedness)，hyperopia (远视)。
