Abstract
Primary open-angle glaucoma is a chronically progressive anterior optic neuropathy characterized by perimetric changes and pathological excavation of the optic disc. It is recognized as a disease that affects quality of life, social and professional life. If seen late or not treated, it can be disabling for all workers by making them medically unfit for their jobs. The prevention of occupational deintegration and job retention are important public health issues today. We report on 350 (700 eyes) glaucoma patients screened during a medical ophthalmological visit in the context of preparation for a public competition, which took place over 24 days in Yamoussoukro. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of primary open-angle glaucoma in candidates for a public competition.
