“…The situation in Asia is different from other ethnic groups, as there are significantly higher proportions of narrow-angle glaucoma cases among Asians, narrow-angle glaucoma is as common or even more common than primary open-angle glaucoma 26 , 27 , 28 , so that the prevalence of all forms of glaucoma in the Chinese population is estimated at 3.5 – 4 percent for the population aged 50 and over (ibid), and even over 7 percent for Japan 29 . It has also been observed that open-angle glaucoma occurs more frequently in urban environments than in rural areas 27 .…”

“…(n = 3062) [15] glaukomtypischer Gesichtsfelddefekt kombiniert mit einer VCDR ≥ 0,5 oder einer Asymmetrie der CDR ≥ 0,2 oder Intraokulardruck > 21 mmHg Die Situation in Asien stellt sich anders dar als in anderen ethnischen Gruppen, da unter Asiaten eine deutlich höhere Prävalenz von Engwinkelglaukomen anzutreffen ist, die z. T. gleich häufig oder sogar noch häufiger als primäre Offenwinkelglaukome auftreten [26 -28], sodass die Häufigkeit aller Glaukomformen in der chinesischen Bevölkerung auf 3,5-4 % für die Bevölkerung ab 50 geschätzt wird (ebd), für Japan sogar auf über 7 % [29]. Auch wurde beobachtet, dass Offenwinkelglaukome im urbanen Umfeld häufiger auftreten als in ländlichen Bereichen [27].…”
