title: [Results of a glaucoma mass screening program (author's transl)].
abstract: During a so called "glaucoma-week" the intraocular pressure of 4661 persons was measured and the statistics obtained were evaluated according to the spss-program. The mean value of the intraocular pressure was 17.18 mm Hg, the standard deviation +/-3.78 mm Hg. The frequencies of various pressure values were in accordance with a Gaussian distribution up to 21 mm Hg. For higher applanation scores a deviation from the Gaussian line became obvious, increasing in intensity with age. Therefore a subpopulation is postulated consisting of persons with diabetes, arteriosclerosis or family history of glaucoma.
