[Working ability of patients with various forms and stages of glaucoma].
Authors evaluated the questionnaries filled by patients with glaucoma of different type treated on the Prague Second Eye Clinic. These were completed by clinical data as state of visual functions and modes and course of the treatment. Different types of glaucoma were present: open-angle glaucoma (74), angular glaucoma (34), pigmentary glaucoma (12), exfoliative glaucoma (4), congenital glaucoma (13). Operations were performed in 26.5% of eyes, laser trabeculoplasty 18.8% and laser irodotomy 15.7%, and pharmacotherapy was applied in remaining patients. Ocular disease was the cause of the change of employment in 11.6%, the total disability pension and the partial one, were acknowledged in 3.6% and, 6.6%, resp. On contrary to the previous data, the number of patients with working disability was significantly decreased in comparison with the previous data. This fact could be explained by the use of the non-miotic antiglaucomatics, laser surgery, microsurgical operations and more precise diagnostics of the earlier stages of glaucoma.
