Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical subtyping of glaucoma in a tertiary care hospital in North India. This prospective study involved 200 patients of glaucoma attending the Ophthalmology OPD of a tertiary care centre. The work up history and ophthalmic examination of patients was done. Standard definitions for various glaucoma subtypes were used for diagnosis. The diagnosis was made by a senior consultant in all cases. Compared to the Western population, angle closure glaucoma patients are more in Indian population. PACG is the most commonly encountered glaucoma. CACG is most common subtype of PACG with a female dominance. Pseudophakic glaucoma, Pseudoexfoliative and Steriod induced glaucoma are the common secondary glaucomas. Population based epidemiological studies are needed to validate or disapprove the data collected in a hospital based study.
