THE ROLE OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IN TAKING CARE OF OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA PATIEN

Abstract

General practitioners in Bulgaria perform screening for open angle glaucoma by referring some patients of risk to an ophthalmologist but they still are not very clear with the early development of the disease as well as the risk factors. As most of them are not willing to measure eye pressure in general practice settings at least they should be provided with more information considering the risk factors of the disease. Creating brochures and discs with information for general practitioners in Bulgarian language is part of the future work of the team.
