A retrospective study was carried out, of 48 patients with glaucoma, who presented over a 2 year period at Port Moresby General Hospital. No cases of chronic open angle glaucoma or acute angle closure glaucoma with shallow anterior chamber were found in the 37 Papua New Guinean patients. Trauma was the most common cause of glaucoma in this group particularly in males. Glaucoma also occurred in association with the exfoliative syndrome and secondary to anterior uveitis. All non-Papuan New Guineans retained some vision in both eyes while 23 of the Papua New Guineans had no perception of light in one eye, which is a reflection of the type of glaucoma present in this group, and their failure to obtain early medical care.
我们进行了一项回顾性研究，研究对象为48例青光眼患者，这些患者在两年时间里前往莫尔斯比港总医院就诊。在37名巴布亚新几内亚患者中，未发现慢性开角型青光眼或伴有浅前房的急性闭角型青光眼病例。外伤是该组青光眼最常见的病因，在男性中尤为如此。青光眼还与剥脱综合征相关，并继发于前葡萄膜炎。所有非巴布亚新几内亚人双眼均保留了一定视力，而23名巴布亚新几内亚人中有一只眼睛无光感，这反映了该组青光眼的类型以及他们未能获得早期医疗救治的情况。
