However, reports on the prevalence of glaucoma in the South Asian region have not been up\u2010to\u2010date.

The pooled prevalence of glaucoma in South Asia was 2.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.7\u20132.6). Among the subtypes, the prevalence of primary open\u2010angle glaucoma (POAG) was 1.6% (95% CI: 1.2\u20132.1), primary angle\u2010closure glaucoma (PACG) was 0.7% (95% CI: 0.4\u20131.0), and secondary glaucoma was 0.3% (95% CI: 0.1\u20130.5). The prevalence trend of glaucoma increased with age and was higher in males. POAG prevalence was found to be higher in all age groups than the prevalence of PACG and highest in people &gt;\u200980 years old (7.25% vs. 2.12%). The prevalence of POAG was also higher in males (2.26%) than in females (1.61%), whereas PACG prevalence was similar for both males and females.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights a significant burden of glaucoma in South Asia, particularly among older adults and males, with POAG being the most common subtype.
