Detailed Description
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

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Follow-up intervals [20 years]
To find the best follow-up intervals for glaucoma patients.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Assessment of treatment quality [20 years]
What is the best treatment option for the individual patient?
- Assessment of intraocular pressure-lowering efficacy and number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 of glaucoma laser therapy [20 years]
Diurnal intraocular pressure, best corrected visual acuity, visual fields
- Assessment of intraocular pressure-lowering efficacy and number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 of glaucoma laser therapy of glaucoma surgery [20 years]
Diurnal intraocular pressure, best corrected visual acuity, visual fields
