“…Although most studies observe OPTN gene variations associated with NTG, this analysis is difficult to be performed in the Brazilian population, due to the small number of patients with this condition in our country, as observed by Urbano et al who found 3% of NTG among 329 glaucoma patients. 25 POAG is a complex disease, in which different genes, associated to environmental interactions, may contribute in a greater or lesser extension to the development of the glaucomatous damage depending on the ethnic background. This equation explains why the frequency of OPTN mutations is variable among different studies.…”

“…Several types of glaucoma exist that are substantially different in relation to their evolution and prognosis for causing blindness. In the literature, very few papers have made a comparative study of blindness caused by different types of glaucoma (7)(8)(9) . This paper evaluates the prognosis of glaucoma in relation to the frequency of unilateral and bilateral blindness caused by different forms of glaucoma.…”

“…Trata-se de uma doença assintomática que requer investigação especializada pormenorizada. Estima-se que cerca da metade dos casos de glaucoma permanece não diagnosticada (2,10) . Em nosso levantamento de 100 pacientes portadores de glaucoma primário, observou-se uma prevalência maior de glaucoma em indivíduos do sexo feminino (70%) com média de idade de 61,3 anos.…”

“…É pertinente justificar que o tratamento do glaucoma se mostra associado a um custo elevado em relação à renda familiar da população que freqüente um serviço público (10,(13)(14) . Em nossa população, 84% dos pacientes eram aposentados e 16% mantinham algum vínculo profissional.…”
