ABSTRACT
According to world forecasting, the number of patients with glaucoma all over the world will reach 111.8 million up to 2040 . The percentage of primary open-angle glaucoma is 2.34% and primary closed-angle glaucoma is 0.73%. According to mathematical forecast, further increasing of common and primary morbidity is expected. The retrospective analysis of patient records of the Department of Eye Microsurgery â 2 of the National Hospital of the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic was carried out. It is established that among total number of treated patients with glaucoma, no significant difference in rate of cases of closed-angle (53,7±1,7) and open-angle forms (46,3±1,7) was established. In most cases, open-angle glaucoma was diagnosed in age group of 60-79 years and closed-angle glaucoma in age group of 50-79 years. The women are reliably more often suffer of glaucoma. The majority of patients had stage III (42,3±2,5), stage II (31,8±2,4) and stage I (22,2±2,1). At all stages, women more often had glaucoma with the exception of stage III and IV that were diagnosed with same rate were diagnosed in patients of both sexes. Unfortunately, there were isolated cases of open-angle glaucoma at young age. The results of the study dictate importance of prevention, early diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation of ophthalmologic patients.
