- W2017899470 abstract "<b>Aims:</b> To study trends in the prevalence of being treated for glaucoma and ocular hypertension from 1994 to 2003, and to examine factors determining treatment in 2002. <b>Methods:</b> Computerised data (the DIN-LINK database) from 131 general practices across the United Kingdom, in which half a million patients aged 40 years or more were registered annually, were used. On average 10 000 patients were treated for glaucoma and ocular hypertension annually. <b>Results:</b> Prevalence of being treated for glaucoma and ocular hypertension increased from 1.7% in 1994 to 2.3% in 2003. Those aged 85 years or more were 13 times (95% CI 12.2 to 13.8) more likely to be treated than those aged 40–64 years. Men were more likely to be treated than women (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.19 to 1.28). Subjects “hard pressed” were less likely to be treated than “wealthy achievers” (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.86 to 0.99). While use of topical β blocker only medications has declined since 1995, use of topical prostaglandins and combination therapies has increased. In 2003, use of prostaglandins overtook β blocker only medications. <b>Conclusion:</b> Prevalence of being treated for glaucoma has increased over time, and rises with age. Differences in treatment by sex and social status could be explained by use of or access to health care or by underlying prevalence of disease. Trends in treated glaucoma emphasise the shift from use of topical β blockers to newer therapies." @default.
