Purpose- To know the clinical profile and distribution of various subtypes of glaucoma in patients who presented to V.S.S Institute of Medical Sciences And Research. Methods- All the patients attending the Ophthalmology department, V.S.S. Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Burla from November 2014 to November 2016 with a history and ocular examinations suggestive of glaucoma were included in the study. Results- A total of 280 cases were studied. Out of these males constituted 153 (54.64%) of total cases and the females were 127 (45.35%) of the study. Primary glaucoma was more common than secondary glaucoma. Among primary glaucoma, primary open angle glaucoma (38.92%) was more common than primary angle closure glaucoma (37.5%). Mean age of POAG patients was 58.22?8.95 years, mean age of PACG patients was 61.67?9.13 years and the mean age of NTG patients was 60.38?9.89 years. Hypertension (22.5%) and diabetes (12.1%) were found in large numbers compared to other systemic condition. Conclusion- The goal should be to atleast diagnose and manage the clear cut cases of glaucoma with established functional loss. This is possible only when we adopt comprehensive eye examinations such as IOP measurement, optic disc evaluation and gonioscopy as a routine.
