Abstract

Ten consecutive cases of manifest glaucoma detected by optic disc assessment in ophthalmic patients born before 1907 were followed. Visual disability and subjective symptoms were common but usually caused by a combination of the glaucoma with other eye diseases. Disc hemorrhages were noted in all cases but 2. The highest intraocular pressure recorded was below 23.5 mmHg in all cases but 1 with disc hemorrhage and 1 without.
