This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, characteristics, and the awareness status of glaucoma in an elderly Chinese population. ⋯ Glaucoma is prevalent in the elderly population in Taiwan, but the diagnostic rate and disease awareness are low. Since most subjects with glaucoma presented with normal IOPs, optic disc evaluation is critical for diagnosing glaucoma in the elderly in Taiwan.
