Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in India and the numbers of the patients are increasing every day. The prevalence of glaucoma depends upon various factors like racial and ethnic factors, the socioeconomic status, etc.
To study the pattern of glaucoma distribution among the patients in a tertiary care hospital.
A retrospective analysis of 1500 glaucoma patients was done, who presented between 2007 and 2012 in TMMC and RC, Moradabad, U.P, India. The age and the gender distribution of glaucoma was studied along with its subtypes in different religious groups (mainly among Hindus and Muslims).
The mean age of the glaucoma patients was 52.7 years. Glaucoma was diagnosed in 882(58.8%) Muslim and in 561(37.4%) Hindu patients. The prevalence of POAG (33.0%) was almost equal to that of PACG (32.7%). POAG was the most common type of glaucoma in males (16.8%), while PACG was very common among females (18.8%). In Hindu patients, POAG (40.8%) was the commonest form of glaucoma, while in Muslims, PACG (40.1%) was the highest form of glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a major ocular disease which is prevalent in the Muslim population of the western Uttar Pradesh region.
青光眼是印度失明的主要原因，患者数量每天都在增加。青光眼的患病率取决于多种因素，如种族和民族因素、社会经济地位等。
研究一家三级护理医院中青光眼患者的分布模式。
对2007年至2012年期间在印度北方邦莫拉达巴德的TMMC和RC就诊的1500例青光眼患者进行回顾性分析。研究了青光眼在不同宗教群体（主要是印度教徒和穆斯林）中的年龄和性别分布及其亚型。
青光眼患者的平均年龄为52.7岁。882例（58.8%）穆斯林和561例（37.4%）印度教患者被诊断患有青光眼。原发性开角型青光眼（POAG，33.0%）的患病率几乎与原发性闭角型青光眼（PACG，32.7%）相同。POAG是男性中最常见的青光眼类型（16.8%），而PACG在女性中非常常见（18.8%）。在印度教患者中，POAG（40.8%）是最常见的青光眼形式，而在穆斯林中，PACG（40.1%）是最主要的青光眼形式。
青光眼是一种主要的眼部疾病，在北方邦西部地区的穆斯林人群中普遍存在。
