A test survey based on a questionnaire was carried out among Danish eye practitioners. The response rate was 72%. The purpose was to estimate the minimum number of patients suffering from glaucoma (prevalence). Survey results show a prevalence of 0.65%. Further, the survey shows a clear correlation between glaucoma diagnosis and age. The number of glaucoma patients increase from approximately 0.5% for persons 50 years of age to approximately 5% for persons 80 years of age. Seventy-two percent of the diagnosed glaucoma patients have visual field defects at different stages. Six percent have central islands on both eyes, the equivalent of a prevalence for social blindness of 0.04%. Ninety-three percent of the diagnosed glaucoma patients receive anti-glaucomatous treatment, of these 42% combination therapy. Eighty percent of glaucoma patients in combination therapy received three or more drugs.
在丹麦眼科从业者中开展了一项基于问卷调查的测试性调查。回复率为72%。目的是估算青光眼患者的最少人数（患病率）。调查结果显示患病率为0.65%。此外，调查显示青光眼诊断与年龄之间存在明显关联。青光眼患者数量从50岁人群的约0.5%增至80岁人群的约5%。72%的已确诊青光眼患者在不同阶段存在视野缺损。6%的患者双眼有中心岛，相当于社会盲患病率为0.04%。93%的已确诊青光眼患者接受抗青光眼治疗，其中42%采用联合治疗。接受联合治疗的青光眼患者中有80%使用了三种或更多药物。
