Sažetak
This study assesses the relation between age related macular degeneration (ARMD) and age, sex and occupation. It is
designed as a retrospective study conducted on patients presenting to the Eye Polyclinic »Dr. L. Pavi~evi}«, Rijeka, Croatia,
during the years 1995, 2000 and 2005. and included total of 6617 patients. The number of patients diagnosed with
ARMD, their age and sex distribution, as well as the correlation between occupation type (indoor /outdoor) and the incidence
of ARMD were analyzed. The results of our study show that the incidence of ARMD is slightly increased in female
vs. male, strongly age related, as expected, and significantly increased in patients with outdoor type of occupation. Besides,
an increasing trend of incidence is noted.
