. The data of 403 inpatients with open‐angle glaucoma were selected between 1977–1986, 155 had glaucoma capsulare (GC) and 248 suffered from primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG). The incidence rate of GC was 38.4 % in the total material. In the GC group, the peak of age distribution was between the ages 70–79 (45.8 %). The male/female ratio of the total GC material was 1.67, that in POAG was 0.85. The difference between the two glaucoma groups was significant.
