Introduction. Diagnosis of glaucoma and identification of initial clinical and specific manifestations, determination of the probability and rate of progression are a priority problem of modern ophthalmology Purpose of the study. Identification of the frequency of glaucoma in geriatric practice. Material and methods. When identifying patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, methodological principles were followed on the basis of a comprehensive ophthalmological examination. The detection of primary open-angle glaucoma was also carried out through the developed information and analytical system, which allows the ophthalmologist to use machine logic and simulate the diagnostic situation. Research results. When assessing the parameters of the detectability of the studied disease, the indicator of the overall detectability of glaucoma under the conditions of using the "traditional approach" was: 1265 cases during the observation period or 632,5±2,50 cases / year; under the conditions of using the developed system: 4492 cases during the observation period or 2246±106,00 cases / year; compared with the "traditional approach", the advantage of the developed the system was: by 71,84% during the study period. It was found that under the conditions of the "traditional approach", the distribution of detected glaucoma cases by stages I (initial), II (advanced), III (advanced) and IV (terminal) is as follows: 9,3%, 18,6%, 52,4% and 18,6%, respectively. Under the conditions of application of the developed system, the following different distribution of outcomes was observed – 44,7%, 31,3%, 20,7% and 3,3%, respectively. Conclusion. The developed information system showed better results of glaucoma detection compared to the traditional approach.
