What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the prevalence and patterns of eye diseases among patients attending the Eye Investigation Unit at Sohag University Hospital from January to December 2025. It will focus on understanding the rates of conditions such as glaucoma and other ocular diseases that can lead to irreversible blindness, with a particular emphasis on gender differences in prevalence. The study will involve collecting data from all patients referred to the unit, while excluding those who cannot undergo necessary assessments. The findings will help inform community education and early treatment strategies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved awareness and early intervention strategies for eye diseases, potentially reducing blindness rates in the community.
How similar studies have gone: While this study focuses on a specific population, similar observational studies have successfully identified patterns of eye diseases and their prevalence in other regions.
