| Abstract |
|
Glaucoma cases undoubtedly represent one of the biggest ophthalmic problems in the field of public health. We analysed statistically 456 cases of the glaucoma patients among 35150 outpatients who visited to our eye department from Jan. 1982 to Dec. 1986. Diagnosis was performed by intraocular pressure, visual acuity, visual field, fundus and gonioscopic examination. The prevalence of the galucoma was 1.3% which was similar as other reports. The following results were obtained. 1. Among the 456 cases including 218 male and 238 female patients, there was no significant sexual difference statistically. 2. The age group over 40 years old occupied 65.9%. 3. The age group 4th and 6th decade in male and 6th and 7th decade in female occupied higher prevalence rate. 4. Open angle glaucoma has the highest prevalence rate. 5. Visual acuity was not significantly correlated to the latency. 6. Intraocular pressure appeared not to have significant correlation to the latency. 7. There was no significant difference in left and right eye. 8. There was significant correlation between the visual acuity and the intraocular pressure. |
