Prevalence of Glaucoma and Normative Data of Ocular Biometry in Elderly Population in Bangkok

Sponsor: Siriraj Hospital

Summary

The BANMOP eye study is an ophthalmic subproject of the Bangkoknoi Model Project (BANMOP), a community-based initiative integrating electronic health databases with population surveys to sup-port context-specific health promotion and prevention strategies. A total of 1,470 participants aged ≥50 years were recruited from community clusters in the Bangkoknoi district between April and Au-gust 2024. All participants underwent standardized ophthalmic examinations including slit-lamp bio-microscopy, noncontact tonometry (NCT), fundus photography, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), and spectral-domain OCT (Spectralis, glaucoma module premium edition). Individuals suspected of glaucoma based on optic nerve head findings, intraocular pressure, or screen-ing results were referred for comprehensive evaluation by glaucoma specialists for definitive diagno-sis and classification.
