Abstract

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Despite numerous studies, this disease is a problem for ophthalmologists with its unclear etiopathogenesis, many factors contributing to its occurrence, the complexity of diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and demographic factors of increased risk of vision loss in patients with primary glaucoma.
