  • Look Inside

We conducted mass screening for early detection of glaucoma within the framework of the healthcare service law for the aged in Koriyama district. A total of 5,186 persons over 40 years of age participated in the program. Initial screening by fundus photography in one eye identified 105 persons as glaucoma suspect. Further ophthalmological examiniations in 51 of the 105 persons led to the diagnosis of glaucoma in 23. There were 8 cases of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and 15 cases of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) . The estimated rate of prevalence was 0.91%, including 0.31% for POAG and 0.60% for NTG. The rate of prevalence was lower than that obtained by another nation-wide survey. The findings show the necessity of bilateral fundus photography and tonometry in the mass screening program.
