Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies risk factors in steroid-induced glaucoma, suggesting need for public education.

Key Points

  • To determine the prevalence and identify risk factors for steroid-induced glaucoma in a tertiary eye care setting.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional study over 20 months at a glaucoma department.
  • Included 190 patients with a history of ocular steroid use and newly diagnosed SIG.
  • Performed examinations including intraocular pressure measurement and gonioscopy.
  • Analyzed data using IBM SPSS Statistics.
  • SIG prevalence was found to be 4.1%.
  • 63% of patients had no known risk factors; 13.1% had diabetes.
  • Mean intraocular pressure reduced significantly from 26.8 mmHg to 14.1 mmHg after 6 months.
