To assure the quality of follow-up and treatment, data of glaucoma patients are stored and evaluated after anonymisation.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the quality of follow-up and treatment by means of consecutive data collection and anonymised analysis of all glaucoma patients of a tertiary university hospital glaucoma service. Parameters being analyzed are: Age, sex, refraction, family history, known duration of glaucoma, highest intraocular pressure before treatment, systemic and topical medication, previous ocular surgery. 24h Goldmann-applanation tonometry, biomicroscopy, gonioscopy, Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph (HRT), glaucoma diagnosis with Scanning-Laser-Polarimetry (GDx), optical coherence tomography (OCT), Pentacam, Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA), Corvis ST (Corneal Visualization with the Scheimpflug Technology), perimetry
