Glaucoma can occur in any age. It is very possible at birth (infantile Glaucoma) and it may develop at any time during life. However, the rates of primary Glaucoma, particularly open-angle Glaucoma, increase with advancing age. According to the World Health Organization, Glaucoma is the third largest cause of blindness worldwide. It is responsible for blindness in 5.2 million people. More than 80 per cent of the blind and suspect cases of Glaucoma live in the developing world. Prevalence studies in developing nations suggest that Glaucoma is responsible for 14 percent to 18 percent of all blindness. |
