Abstract
Aim and Objective: To analyse the background of glaucomatous patients as per their age and sex. Materials and Methods: Diagnosed 133patients attended the glaucoma clinic were taken as sample. Their age and sex were recorded and analysis was done. Stastical Analysis: The data collected were tabulated and various Stastical methods were applied as per requirement. Observation and Discussion: Out of 133 patients majority 77 (57.89%) were males and rest 56 (42.10%) females. As per age maximum patients 45 (33.68%) belong to 56 – 65 year age group, followed by 34 (25.56%) and 27 (20.30%) in 46 -55 and 66 – 75 years age group respectively. 7 (5.26%) cases belongs to juvenile age group 6 – 15 year’s age group. On further analysis the proportion of male juvenile cases were 6 (89.9%) in comparison to their 1 (14.2%) female counterparts. Conclusion: The higher incidence of males in the present study may be because of social structure where females don’t report early. Recommendation: An intensive awareness campaign about various eye diseases in the community must be done at frequent intervals. So more and more patients come forward for their routine eye checkup. Diagnosis can be done at the earliest and prompt and proper treatment can be done.
