Abstract

Purpose: To assess the prevalence of end-of-life visual impairment in patients followed for glaucoma. Methods: Data of 122 patients followed for glaucoma who had died between July 2008 and July 2010 and who had visited the ophthalmology outpatient department of a large non-academic Dutch hospital were collected from the medical files. Sixty-one patients had open-angle glaucoma (OAG), and 61 patients were suspect for glaucoma or had ocular hypertension (OHT). Visual impairment was defined as a mean deviation value
