Prevalence of unknown ocular hypertension, glaucoma suspects, and glaucoma in patients seen in an ophthalmology center in France

Ophthalmic Research Mar 04, 2020

Chamard C, Villain M, Bron A, et al. - In patients consulting for refractive disorders in France, researchers estimated the prevalence of unknown cases of ocular hypertension [defined as an intraocular pressure > 21 mm Hg], glaucoma suspects, and glaucoma. All candidates consulting for refractive disorders between June 2015 and June 2017 in the ophthalmology center were involved in this retrospective study. In total, 66,068 patients, mean age was 37 years, consulted for a refraction visual assessment during the study period. The prevalence of unknown cases of ocular hypertension, glaucoma suspect, and glaucoma, respectively, was 2.6, 0.8, and 0.5 per 1,000 consultants. The importance of glaucoma screening in people over 40 years old with the measurement of intraocular pressure and an optic nerve head assessment was highlighted in this analysis.
