ABSTRACT
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
To determine the association of Primary glaucoma with retinal vein occlusion.METHODOLOGY:
A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out in B.P. Koirala Lions Centre for Ophthalmic Studies from April 2002-July 2003. All diagnosed cases of retinal vein occlusion were evaluated in detail for the presence of primary glaucoma. Detailed history was taken. Best corrected visual acuity was recorded, slit-lamp evaluation of anterior segment was performed, intraocular pressure was assessed with the help of applanation tonometer, gonioscopy was done and fundus evaluation was done under full mydriasis.RESULTS:
Out of 50 patients, 19 (38%) were central retinal vein occlusion and 31(62%) were branch retinal vein occlusion. Majority of the retinal vein occlusion patients were in the age group of (61-70 years) 12 out of 50 patients (24%). There were 12 patients of primary glaucoma in 50 patients of retinal vein occlusion. Out of which 11 patients had primary open angle glaucoma and 1 patient had primary angle closure glaucoma.CONCLUSION:
This study shows association of primary glaucoma as a risk factor of retinal vein occlusion. Evaluation of retinal vein occlusion patients for primary glaucoma would be worthwhile for early detection and prevention of blindness.
