Abstract
Results:Out of 116 patients, 66 (56.90%) were males and 50 (43.10%) females. The mean age at presentation was 52.88±15.19 years. Primary open angle glaucoma was found to be the most common (54.0%) type, followed by primary angle closure glaucoma (41.0 %). The common group of drugs prescribed included beta blockers (38.12%), followed by carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, prostaglandin F2α analogues, α2 agonist and cholinergic agonist (14.36% each)
