Abstract:
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Glaucoma has a disproportionate prevalence among specific ethnic groups. Therefore, the issue of 'race' and glaucoma has been the focus of much discussion. The purpose of this article is to provide a review of the literature regarding the prevalence, management, and outcome of glaucoma among different ethnic populations. RECENT FINDINGS:This review highlights not only recent reports but also notes key studies from the past regarding glaucoma and ethnicity. Given the variation in presentation and the response to therapy, it is important to individualize one's therapeutic approach in any given patient. SUMMARY:Our knowledge regarding glaucoma and ethnicity helps us to customize a patient's therapeutic regimen more effectively. Therefore, understanding an individual's heredity and culture is essential to properly identify, treat, and manage individuals at risk and existing patients with glaucoma.
