Sociodemographic and Clinical Determinants of Glaucoma in a Sub‐Saharan African Population: A Case‐Control Study

Background and Aims: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with a disproportionate burden in Sub‑Saharan Africa. Identifying sociodemographic and clinical determinants is critical for early detection and prevention. This study identified glaucoma risk factors in Ghanaians and evaluated their prognostic significance. Methods: < 0.05. Results: = 0.001). Conclusions: Age, family history of glaucoma, hypertension, myopia, and elevated IOP were key risk factors. Targeted screening and regular eye examinations among high-risk individuals may facilitate earlier detection and help prevent or delay progressive glaucomatous optic nerve damage.
