Aim: To determine (i) the prevalence of glaucoma in people aged >50 years, (ii) the proportions of different types of glaucoma, (iii) the distributions of intraocular pressure and vertical cup disc ratio. Method: Population based prevalence survey in rural West Bengal. People aged >50 years in randomly selected villages in 24 Parganas South district. The main outcome measures were diagnosis of ...

PURPOSE To document the diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) profile with rebound tonometry performed by primary glaucoma patients in non-clinic environment. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-three medically-treated eyes of 31 primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and 22 primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with no previous eye surgery were recruited. Diurnal IOP was measured 5 times per day at...

We describe the prevalence and treatment of glaucoma in a Muslim Arab population in Israel. Based on the medical records of 15 122 persons, the overall prevalence of glaucoma was 3.9%. Prevalence rates of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) were 3.0% and 0.42%, respectively. Prevalence rates of women were 135% that of men considering all types of glaucom...

UNLABELLED PRIMARY OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA PREFERRED PRACTICE PATTERN® GUIDELINES Evidence-based update of the Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Preferred Practice Pattern® (PPP) guidelines, describing the diagnosis and management of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma with an algorithm for patient management and detailed recommendations for evaluation and treatment options.

UNLABELLED PRIMARY OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA SUSPECT PREFERRED PRACTICE PATTERN® GUIDELINES Evidence-based update of the Primary Open-Angle Suspect Glaucoma Preferred Practice Pattern® (PPP) guidelines, describing the diagnosis and management of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma suspect with detailed recommendations for evaluation and treatment options.

We report a retrospective study of 60 eyes from 46 patients all with primary open-angle glaucoma who had a trabeculectomy to one or both eyes. A minimum five-year follow-up was available. The percentage pressure reductions at the one and five years postoperatively is shown. In a subgroup of 50 eyes which had Goldman fields documented at least six-monthly for a minimum of five years postoperativ...
