ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine the prevalence of glaucoma in a population of patients with multibacillary Hansen disease who had completed treatment. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
The authors examined 386 of 446 patients with treated multibacillary Hansen disease residing in a geographically limited area. A complete ophthalmic examination including slit-lamp, applanation tonometry, gonioscopy, ophthalmoscopy, and stereobiomicroscopic examination of the optic disc was performed in all subjects. Glaucoma suspects were invited to the base hospital for further examination including automated perimetry.RESULTS:
The overall prevalence of glaucoma was 3.6 per cent (CI 1.9-5.3); 1.3 per cent had primary open-angle glaucoma, 7 per cent were primary angle-closure suspects (occludable angles), 1.8 per cent had primary angle-closure glaucoma, and 0.5 per cent had secondary glaucoma.CONCLUSION:
The prevalence of primary glaucoma in patients with treated multibacillary Hansen disease was similar to that in the general population, and secondary glaucoma was rare.
