Abstract :
OBJECTIVE: The present study evaluated the variations seen in intraocular pressure and cost of therapy for primary open angle glaucoma. METHOD: Proforma was designed factoring patients’ demographical profile RESULT: A total of 100 prescriptions of patients suffering from glaucoma were analyzed. Maximum cases (36%) belonged of age group 40 to 50 years with a gender ratio (Male/female) of 2.3. 82% had bilateral glaucoma. The patients aged more than 40 years had high intraocular pressure ranged 25–45 mm Hg. Total average cost of therapy per day per prescription was found to be Rs 7.52. Conclusion: The present study showed high variation among patient suffering from primary open angle glaucoma. High average cost of therapy per day is matter of concern.
