Introduction: primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common type and represents the second cause of irreversible blindness, being a complex and heterogeneous disease.
Objective: to characterize from the clinical point of view the patients who attended the provincial clinic of glaucoma during January 2017-December 2018.
Methods: cross-sectional, descriptive study. A total of 1447 patients were examined at the provincial clinic of glaucoma, with the diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma in the period January 2017-December 2018.
Results: 67,3 % of the patients studied belonged to the age group of 60-80 years old and 70 % were male. The 37,8 % were people of mixed race, the 68,7 % presented a mild glaucoma and 89,8 % had a visual acuity between 1,0-0,3; 68,7 % of the patients had an ocular pressure below 21 mmHg; 75,2 % of the patients had a disease evolution time of more than 5 years and 89,4 % underwent medical treatment.
Conclusions: primary open-angle glaucoma was more frequent in advanced ages, in males and in people of mixed race. The majority had good visual acuity and a better correction in their best eye and normal ocular pressure. Mild glaucoma prevailed, with an evolution time of more than 5 years and with medical treatment for the control of the disease.
