Abstract
El glaucoma se define como un conjunto de neuropatías ópticas crónicas y progresivas que tienen en común cambios morfológicos característicos en la papila óptica y en la capa de fibras nerviosas de la retina, asociados a la muerte progresiva de células ganglionares de la retina y a la aparición de alteraciones en el campo visual. El glaucoma es la segunda causa de ceguera en Europa y en el mundo, siendo la causa más frecuente de ceguera irreversible. El glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto (GPAA) es el tipo de glaucoma más frecuente, con unas tasas de prevalencia notificadas muy variables en función del estudio y el lugar del mundo, que oscilan entre 0,5-8,8%. 1,2,3,4Se calcula que entre el 50% – 78% 5 de los enfermos de glaucoma no están diagnosticados, existiendo una prevalencia de glaucoma sin diagnosticar del 2,9% en la población general, que aumenta al 6,6% en los mayores de 70 años.
We can describe glaucoma as a group of chronic and progressive optic neuropathies that share a series of typical morphologic changes in the optic disc and in the retinal nerve fiber layer, associated with the progressive degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells and the onset of alterations in the visual field. Glaucoma is the second cause of blindness in Europe and worldwide, as well as the most frequent cause of irreversible blindness. Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most frequent type of glaucoma, with prevalence rates that vary widely depending on the study and the location, ranging between 0.5-8,8%.1,2,3,4It is estimated that between 50% and 78%5 of patients with glaucoma haven’t been diagnosed yet, the prevalence of not-diagnosed glaucoma being 2.9% in the general population, increasing to a 6.6% in the population older than 70 years old...
