Abstract

The prevalence of glaucoma is 0.7% among 40-49-year-olds and rises over subsequent decades to 7.7% amongst those over 80 years of age As the population of the United States ages, the number of patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) is expected to increase by 50% to 3.36 million in the year 2020. OAG represents an emerging disease with increasing costs and negative impacts.
