G.R. Odilova* and M. Haydari
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the nature of the course of the glaucoma process in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) undergoing medical observation at ophthalmologists at polyclinics, depending on the age of the patients and the duration of the disease. Material and methods: a continuous retrospective study of case histories of 72 patients (144 eyes) of POAG was taken for follow-up in 2016-2017 and observed by ophthalmologists of territorial polyclinics of the Bukhara region for 5 years, with the study of the effectiveness of the clinical examination. Results: long-term follow-up monitoring of the course of the glaucoma process in patients with POAG in a clinic showed its low efficiency. Disease progression has occurred in all age groups. The greatest progression was noted in the age groups of 40-49 and 70-79 years. Deterioration of visual functions depending on the age of glaucoma in patients with initial and developed stages began at 2-3 years and continued throughout the follow-up. In patients with a far advanced stage, the transition to the terminal began at 4-5 years.
Keywords: glaucoma, clinical examination, incidence.
