Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Glaucoma affects 50,000 individuals in the Czech Republic, with significant regional variations in prevalence.
  • Prevalence is highest in Prague (1 per 140 population) and lowest in Southern Bohemia (1 per 318).

Purpose:

  • To investigate the current state of glaucoma diagnosis and treatment across 88 departments in the Czech Republic.
  • To identify deficiencies in diagnostic procedures and treatment approaches for glaucoma patients.

Summary:

  • Many departments lack routine gonioscopy (12) and applanation tonometry (30).
  • Advanced diagnostics like statistical computed perimetry are available in only six departments.
  • In 1989, acute glaucoma accounted for one-tenth of hospitalizations, with 952 primary and 320 secondary glaucoma surgeries performed.
