Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze outpatients of glaucoma aged 20 or older about their five-year use of ophthalmology and investigate trend of prevalence in glaucoma patients. The Korea Health Panel (KHP) data from 2008 to 2012 were analyzed using frequency and chi-square tests. The outpatients of glaucoma have increased significantly from 0.43% in 2008 to 0.47% in 2009, 0.49% in 2010, 0.61% in 2011, and 0.75% in 2012 (p<0.001). The outpatients of glaucoma are in the 20's to 70's, and higher utility rate is shown in those who are older (p<0.001), and the rate of use tends to increase each year in all the age groups (p<0.001). The medical care utilization attributed to glaucoma in Korea tends to increase lately; therefore, it is a crucial task to realize early detection and management according to the characteristics of different age groups.
