The occurrence of glaucoma was studied in a population comprising 1963 persons born during 1907 to 1921 and living in a small Swedish suburban and rural district. The records of 24 patients treated for glaucoma were examined. An estimate of the prevalence of glaucoma in untreated persons was based on an examination of 1511 subjects by standardised methods (including automatic perimetry) and strict diagnostic criteria. About 20% of all cases of glaucoma with visual field defects in the whole population were already known. Only 7 out of 15 cases of previously unknown but manifest glaucoma had intraocular pressures above 20-5 mmHg. The reduction in visual capacity caused by glaucoma in the present population was limited.
对1907年至1921年出生、居住在瑞典一个小郊区和农村地区的1963人进行了青光眼发病情况的研究。检查了24例接受青光眼治疗患者的记录。基于用标准化方法(包括自动视野计)对1511名受试者进行的检查和严格的诊断标准,对未治疗人群中的青光眼患病率进行了估计。在整个人口中,所有有视野缺损的青光眼病例中约20%已为人所知。在15例先前未知但已确诊的青光眼中,只有7例眼压高于20 - 5 mmHg。当前人群中由青光眼导致的视力下降是有限的。
