. The high prevalence of glaucoma and its dominance among causes of irreversible blindness determine medical social significance. Purpose of study. To analyze risk factors in patients with glaucoma to be implemented in organization of early detection of pathology. Materials and methods. The results of digital screening of risk factors in sampling of 225 patients with glaucoma stage II-III and 207 patients of the same age the evaluation was applied concerning prognostic significance of medical and behavioral risk factors. Results. The major risk factors of development of glaucoma are high intraocular pressure, arterial hypertension, previous surgery on affected eye, elder age, hereditary load. In total of all examined factors the higher, moderate and low degrees of risk of development of glaucoma were established. Conclusion. The proposed approach permits to detect glaucoma at early stages of its development on the basis of prognostication of risk factors.
