Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients with glaucoma, who presented at the tertiary ophthalmology clinics in Ankara, Turkey.Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study included all of the consecutive glaucoma patients or glaucoma suspects who presented at ten different tertiary ophthalmology clinics in Ankara between March 2015 and May 2015. The demographic characteristics and clinical findings of the patients were evaluated. Glaucoma was diagnosed according to the International Society for Geographical and Epidemiological Ophthalmology Classification. In the patients with binocular glaucoma, only the data of the worse eye was included for statistical analyses. Results: A total of 4604 eyes of 2541 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were classified as having glaucoma. Binocular involvement was present in 2063 (81.2%) patients. Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) was the most common glaucoma type (38.8%), followed by exfoliative glaucoma (XFG; 26.2%), and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG; 7.7%). The distribution of the sexes was significantly different among the diagnosis groups (P < 0.001). The cup/disk ratio was the highest among the patients with secondary angle-closure glaucoma (SACG; P < 0.001). The visual field MD parameter was significantly higher in the patients with SACG and XFG (P < 0.001). Monocular and binocular blindness ratios were 21% and 2.8%, respectively.Conclusions: The predominant type of glaucoma in Turkish clinic patients was found to be POAG, followed by XFG and PACG. |
