Abstract
In a well defined population, the observed incidence of different types of glaucoma during the years 1980–82 is presented. The great majority of glaucoma patients was found to have primary open angle glaucoma, and of these approximately 3/4 had capsular glaucoma. The observed annual incidence of all types of glaucoma increases with increasing age to a maximum of 0.7% in the age group 81–85 years. In the same age group, the annual incidence of primary open angle glaucoma with visual field defects was 0.44%.Keywords
