Objective: to analyze the incidence of glaucoma in the physical population and the necessity of glaucoma screening. Methods: the subjects were selected from 300 subjects who underwent physical examination in ophthalmology department of our hospital from January 2018 to December 2018, and the subjects underwent eye examination, including medical history inquiry, visual examination, general eye examination, intraocular pressure examination, eye eye examination, etc. If the physical examination is suspected of glaucoma or fundus lesions, 24h of intraocular pressure monitoring and anterior chamber Angle microscopy should be performed. Results: the study results showed that there were 6 patients with glaucoma, and the overall prevalence rate was 5.0%, and the age group with the highest proportion of patients was over 70 years old. With the increase of age, the prevalence rate increased gradually, which was also consistent with the epidemiological survey results of previous studies on large-scale sample size. Conclusion: glaucoma screening can understand the condition of eye health in modern population, so as to reduce the possibility of visual impairment and irreversible blindness.
