Abstract
Abstract The records of all patients with simple and capsular glaucoma who visited our clinic in the period from 1.1.1972 to 31.12.1982, and who were alive at the 31.12.82, have been evaluated. In the population older than 49 years 0.54% had simple and 0.74% had capsular glaucoma, equally distributed on men and women. In average near 60% had capsular glaucoma, with great variation in different municipalities. Highest figures were found in a belt reaching from the coast into the inland. Both simple and capsular glaucoma showed increasing occurrence till 75–80 years, thereafter the curves decline.Keywords
