We evaluated the quality of life (QOL) in 278 patients with various types of glaucoma. QOL was scored by taking 5 factors into account: mental, physical, social, economical and familial factors. We also assessed sex, age, severity of visual field defects and therapeutic status. QOL deteriorated according to age and progression of visual field defects. The mental factor was the most affected and the economical one the least. Most patients desired glaucoma surgery. Majority of operated patients expressed favorable impression regarding surgery. Ophthalmologists ought to consider the quality of life as an important feature in the treatment of glaucoma patients.
