Fight Against Glaucoma: The Problem State in the World and in Kazakhstan

Abstract

The social and economic significance of glaucoma can be attributed to the increase in the proportion of elderly patients due
to increased life expectancy. In addition, the importance of the disease is determined by its prevalence, the inevitable and irreversible
blindness of patients, and the high cost of diagnosis, treatment and dispensation of the disease. The study of the quality of life of
patients with glaucoma is a serious social and economic issue for patients with diseases such as glaucoma, which ends in complete
blindness.
