Scope of Study
The study
is a determination of the factors influencing the incidence of glaucoma
in adult patients in Anambra state between 2002 and 2006. This means
that only available data on adult patients who visited the General
Hospital in Awka, Enugwu-ukwu and Onitsha are used for the study.
Another delimitation is that adults between the ages of 40 years and
above and studied as our interest is mostly on open angle glaucoma.
