ABSTRACT
To determine risk factors and the overall incidence of ocular surface disorders in a cohort of long-term glaucoma patients. Utilizing simple clinical tools, cross-sectional observational research were constructed to evaluate ocular surface problems and indicators. Using a four-grade scale, ten queries regarding symptoms and indications on the cornea's surface were used to create an OSD severity score. The patients were divided into three groups A, B, and C, depending on the result. The variables that increase the incidence of surface sickness were identified using a multinomial logistic regression. Five hundred and twenty patients made up the total population. According to the multivariate analysis, the patient's age, the number of daily eyedrops, any previous changes in topical treatment for ocular intolerance, intraocular pressure, and degree of glaucoma were all connected with the severity of ocular surface illness. Ocular surface disorders are frequently developed by patients getting treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypotension. which are less prevalent and serious in geriatric patients because their use greater drugs and have greater advanced glaucoma.
