Article Synopsis
- Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, and this study focused on assessing whether Iraqi patients with glaucoma are meeting their target intra-ocular pressure (IOP) levels to prevent damage and blindness.
- A total of 100 new glaucoma patients from Ibn-Al-Haitham Hospital were analyzed, revealing that only 35% reached their IOP target, with most patients requiring two anti-glaucoma drugs.
- The study found that while demographic factors like age and gender did not significantly affect IOP achievement, the number of prescribed medications was a critical factor in reaching the target IOP levels.
