demographic characteristics, glaucoma, patientsAbstract
Glaucoma is one of the most discussed and obscure diseases. Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of diseases with unclear pathophysiology and the influence of many factors. The aim of the present study is to make a demographic characterization of patients with primary glaucoma observed for 3 or more years in the Eye Hospital - Varna.
