Abstract

PURPOSE. Comparative analysis of clinical and demographic characteristics of patients admitted for surgical treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma in the Krasnoyask Krai over the past 15 years.METHODS. The study analyzed 2426 medical histories of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma who underwent surgical antihypertensive intervention at the Krasnoyarsk Regional Ophthalmic Clinical Hospital named after Professor P.G. Makarov in 2007–2021.RESULTS. It was found that the proportion of men was significantly higher than women among patients who underwent surgical treatment of glaucoma. The mean age of operated patients was comparable across the entire period and ranged from 66.4 to 69.0 years. The proportion of patients with advanced stage of the disease increased during the study period from 50.7% to 75.5% (p<0.001). In 73–83% of cases, interventions were performed on patients with uncompensated, moderately elevated or high intraocular pressure.CONCLUSION. Considering the dominating proportion of eyes with advanced stage of the disease (50.7–75.5% of cases), as well as high initial levels of intraocular pressure, it can be assumed that in some cases such patients are still referred to surgical treatment late, although presently it can be associated with problems in planned care due to the ongoing pandemic.
