Late presenters were more likely to be of lower occupational class (odds ratio adjusted for age and referral centre 20.1 (95% confidence interval 2.6 to 155) for group III compared with group I-II and 86.0 (11.0 to 673 for group IV-V compared with group I-II), to have no access to a car (2.2; 1.2 to 4.0), to have left full time education at age 14 or less (7.5; 2.3 to 24.7), and to be tenants rather than owner occupiers (local authority tenants 3.2; 1.7 to 5.8, private tenants 2.1; 0.7 to 5.8). Effects of deprivation were partly accounted for by family history of glaucoma, time since last visit to an optometrist, and lack of an initial diagnosis of glaucoma by an optometrist.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Area and individual level deprivation were both associated with late presentation of glaucoma. Existing evidence shows that late presentation is an important risk factor for subsequent blindness. Deprived groups thus seem to be at greater risk of going blind from glaucoma. Material deprivation may be associated with more aggressive disease as well as later presentation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.322.7287.639","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T06:43:05Z","timestamp":1027752185000},"page":"639-643","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":133,"title":["Deprivation and late presentation of glaucoma: case-control study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"322","author":[{"given":"Scott","family":"Fraser","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catey","family":"Bunce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Wormald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Brunner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,3,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.1","first-page":"5","article-title":"Blindness and partial sight in England and Wales: April 1990-March 1991.","volume":"28","author":"Evans","year":"1996","journal-title":"Health Trends"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1991.01080080050026"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1991.03470030069026"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1499","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(92)31774-9","article-title":"Prevalence of glaucoma.","volume":"99","author":"Klein","year":"1992","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.5","first-page":"649","article-title":"The epidemiology of primary open angle glaucoma.","volume":"4","author":"Tielsch","year":"1991","journal-title":"Ophthalmol Clin North Am"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"991","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(82)34675-8","article-title":"Why do some people go blind from glaucoma?","volume":"89","author":"Grant","year":"1982","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.7","first-page":"2251","article-title":"Risk factors for late attendance of chronic glaucoma.","volume":"40","author":"Fraser","year":"1999","journal-title":"Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1020","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.318.7190.1020","article-title":"Tackling health inequalities in primary care.","volume":"318","author":"Smeeth","year":"1999","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.83.1.24","article-title":"Retrospective analysis of risk factors for late presentation of chronic glaucoma.","volume":"83","author":"Fraser","year":"1999","journal-title":"Br J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1705","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.286.6379.1705","article-title":"Identification of underprivileged areas.","volume":"286","author":"Jarman","year":"1983","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1470","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.309.6967.1470","article-title":"Higher mortality in deprived areas: community or personal disadvantage?","volume":"309","author":"Sloggett","year":"1994","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2025122108463969000_322.7287.639.12","unstructured":"Office of Population Censuses and Surveys .Standard occupational classification.
