Abstract Purpose: To identify risk factors for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in a Vietnamese population. Methods: A matched case-control study was conducted at Vietnam National Institute of Ophthalmology. Cases were patients clinically diagnosed with POAG. Controls were caregivers of patients with other eye diseases, free from any ocular and systemic abnormalities, and were selected and then matched with the cases by gender and age. Cases and controls were examined by a glaucoma specialist to confirm presence or absence of POAG. Data on demographic, ophthalmic and medical conditions were collected via interview at time of examination. Associations between POAG and potential factors were examined by univariate conditional logistic regression analysis (OR – Odd Ratios) and multivariate conditional logistic regression (AOR – Adjusted Odd Ratios) with level of significance is 0.05. Results: In total, 128 cases with POAG and 128 controls were recruited. Multivariate conditional (fixed-effects) logistic regression analysis resulted in several significant risk factors, including hypertension AOR =4.7 (95% CI: 1.8–12.0; p=0.002); family history of glaucoma AOR = 6.4 (95% CI: 1.3 – 32.2; p = 0.026); over–the–counter eye medication AOR = 3.1 (95% CI: 1.5 – 6.5; p = 0.006), and a protective role for marriage AOR = 0.2 (95% CI: 0.1 – 0.7; p = 0.006) and weekly exercise AOR = 0.3 (95% CI: 0.1 – 0.8; p = 0.021). Conclusions: Hypertension, family history of glaucoma and over–the–counter eye medication were risk factors while marriage and weekly exercise were protective factors for POAG in Vietnamese population.

Objective: It is a retrospective study to evaluate the effect of myopia on primary open-angle glaucoma by classifying the eyes into NMG (non-myopic glaucoma), HMG (highly myopic glaucoma) And MMG (mild to moderate myopic glaucoma). Methods: The study was performed on 120 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma who were medically treated. Any participant who had surgery done was excluded from the study. The relation between glaucoma and different myopia and progression were assessed on the basis of age, gender, risk factors. Results: Out of the 120 cases assessed, 46 [38 percent] were female and 74 [62 percent] were males. On the basis of age there were 9 cases between 31-40 y, 30 cases between the ages 41-50, 40 cases between 51-60, 32 cases between 61-70 and 9 cases between 71-80, on the basis of myopia 59 [49 percent] were NMG 47 [39 percent] were MMG and 14 [12 percent] were HMG. On the basis of risk factors,12 of them had Diabetes Mellitus, 7 had Hypertension, 7 had a history of steroid use, 3 had a history of migraines and 6 of them had a family history of glaucoma. In the observed one year period 73 percent if the cases were not progressive while 27 percent were progressive. In this study, it has been observed that the males are more commonly affected and the age group with the most cases was the 51 to 60 age group. The majority of the cases showed no risk factors though Diabetes Mellitus is the most common. The progression of the disease is seen more frequently in cases associated with Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension. In MMG 12 out of the 47 cases were progressive and in NMG 15 out of the 59 cases were progressive. Conclusion: Though high myopia is important in the pathogenesis of glaucoma there was no evidence that high myopia increases the progression of the disease of the 14 cases, only 5 were progressive.

Background: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) has been associated with cardiovascular and dietary risk factors. Aim: This study aimed to determine whether dietary practices correlate with POAG, after controlling for the most important risk factors, namely heredity and cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidaemia). Methods: Two samples of equal sizes ( N = 100) were randomly selected from glaucoma outpatient services with and without POAG. Dietary habits and risk factors for POAG were recorded. Results: Clinical cases can be discerned from controls in 90.5% of all cases, on account of having a familial history of glaucoma, eating less meat per week which is cooked more and with more visible fat and drinking less pure fruit juice. Conclusions: Drinking pure fruit juice, consuming more meat with less visible fat cooked to a lower effect and modest salt consumption during cooking is practical and easy-to-observe dietary advice for any patients at risk or already suffering from POAG.
