Abstract
PURPOSE. To investigate the clinical and statistical characteristics of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in patients with age-related cataract (ARC) in the Khabarovsk territory of the Russian Federation.
METHODS. The study examined a total of 231 patients (462 eyes), including 113 men and 118 women aged from 55 to 88 years (average 71 years) with ARC and POAG of different stages.
RESULTS. Stage II glaucoma was detected in the maximum number of eyes with ARC, while stages I and III were less common. In 31 eyes (6.7%), there was a terminal stage of POAG. Moreover, only 10 eyes had previously been operated on for glaucoma. The most widely used drugs in patients with stages I and II POAG are prostaglandin analogues, while in stages III and IV — various combinations of hypotensive drugs.
CONCLUSION. Among all studied eyes, 320 (69.2%) (except for stage IV) did not have target intraocular pressure indicators established by the Federal Clinical Recommendations. In regard to the used drug therapy, it should be noted that in 183 eyes (36.9%) two or more hypotensive drugs were prescribed.
