Detailed Description
In this study, we aim to detect individuals with glaucoma and refer them for further evaluation and treatment when necessary. In so doing, we want to get an estimation of the prevalence of glaucoma in the Belgian population of 40+ years.
A fundus picture will be acquired without pupil dilation. This examination will be followed by an intra-ocular pressure measurement. The results will be discussed with the participating subject by the present physician. For each subject, both eyes will be evaluated. In case of suspected glaucoma, the subject will be referred to an ophthalmologist for further evaluation.
