Visual field progression in Malay patients with primary glaucoma: survival analysis and prognostic factors.

Purpose: This study aims to determine the 5-year visual field progression and identify the prognostic factors for progression in Malay patients with primary glaucoma.

Methods: A retrospective cohort record review study was conducted among 222 patients (222 eyes) with primary glaucoma who were selected from a glaucoma research database of a tertiary center in Malaysia. The patients were Malays and diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).

Quality of Life of Older Adults with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma using Bahasa Malaysia Version of Glaucoma Quality of Life 36 Questionnaire.

Background: Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is an age-related chronic optic neuropathy causing progressive constriction of visual field, which compromised quality of life (QoL) of older adults.

Objective: The study aims to determine the QoL according to the severity of visual field using Bahasa Malaysia version of the Glaucoma Quality of Life- 36 (Glau-QoL 36) in older adults with POAG in Malaysia.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in two tertiary hospitals in Malaysia: Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, and Hospital Selayang, Selangor.
