Criteria for suspecting glaucoma included a cup disc ratio (CD) of > 0.5, a CD asymmetry between the fellow eyes of > 0.2, and\/or intraocular pressure (IOP) > 21mmHg by applanation tonometry.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Eleven (6 boys and 5 girls) of 1,393 pupils (0.8%), aged between 7 and 13 years, had ocular findings suspicious of glaucoma.
