Glaucoma Screening from a Public Health Clinic

Abstract

The organization, method of screening, criteria for selection of cases for reassessment, and preliminary results of the current glaucoma survey at Bedford are described. Definite glaucoma was diagnosed in 1.6% of the first 2,000 cases. As much time must be spent on assessment of the 8% of doubtful cases as on screening the rest. © 1965, British Medical Journal Publishing Group. All rights reserved.
