Abstract

lthough glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in dogs, the lack of a uniform definition of the disease in its various forms, it is difficult to assess the impact of animal health. Given the similarities between glaucoma, we analyzed available data on the three main forms of the disease: congenital glaucoma; open angle glaucoma and hereditary primary angle closure. A simple model was developed to estimate the extent of glaucoma on a regional basis, taking into account the research data; the results show that glaucoma is responsible for about 7% of blindness of the canine population. Thus, the use of timolol as treatment with a control voltage intra oculaure periodically has been effective in glaucoma with a success rate lower than 5 mmHg on average
