Abstract
In recent years, several surveys have reported on the prevalence of glaucoma worldwide. One study has shown that financial stability in population has affected glaucoma. However, there have been differences in the reported prevalence rates due to methodological variations. In the Eastern part of the world, 7.8 million people had primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with prevalence of about 2.51%. To estimate the number of people with glaucoma or at risk of the disease, they age and gender occurrence estimates have been used, along with population estimates. East Asians have more chances to have PACG than POAG compared to western people. Their analysis shows that about 11.2 million people of the age 40 years and older with glaucoma in South East Asia, with POAG in 6.48 million people and PACG affecting 2.54 million. Additionally, any primary angle-closure disease could affect around 27.6 million people. The majority of glaucoma patients in South East Asia go undiagnosed, which makes it difficult to discover and treat the condition. We consider different strategies to raise case detection rates across the nation while taking into account the limited resources and personnel at our disposal. Aim of this study was to understand prevalence of glaucoma in general populations and steroid users.
