Aim: Glaucoma is usually symptomless and vision loss is irreversible. With early detection, medications and surgeries can be used to prevent further vision loss. World Glaucoma Day aims to educate people about how to assess their risk for glaucoma and to be aware of the importance of regular eye exams and disease detection. Material and Methods: During glaucoma screening programme 158 persons were included. We took database from patients and payed attention on all glaucoma risk factors (age, race, family history, diabetes, high myopia, hypertension, migraine, headache...). We measured IOP with aplanation tonometry and checked head of optic nerv by ophtalmoscopy. Results: Age - most of people were in age of 60 - 70. (46%), 56% with cardiovacular disease, 50% with hypertension, 17% with family history. Results of IOP: 16% were with IOP more than 21 mmHg. C/D ratio : 10% more than 0.4 and C/D asimetry between two eyes more than 0.2, 2%. 21 of patients were suspicious on glaucoma and they were invited on complete glaucoma test on Eye Clinic. After all glaucoma diagnostics (visual aquity, CCT, aplanation tonometry, gonioscopy Octopus perimetry, OCT), we detected 3 patients with open angle glaucoma, one with low tension glaucoma and one with ocular hypertension. Conclusion: Finding people with the early stages of glaucoma, and then treating them before theylose their sight is the key to prevention of blindness.
