Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic outcomes of patients suspicious for glaucoma referred from the company health screening. Methods: In this prospective study, 147 (87 male, 60 female) patients for glaucoma suspicious referred from the company health screening were enrolled. They underwent slit-lamp examination, Goldmann applanation tonometry, gonioscopy, optic disc examination, visual field examination and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurement using optical coherence tomography (StratusOCT) and scanning laser polarimetry (GDx VCC). We analyzed their diagnostic outcomes. Results: The mean age of patients was 43.8±9.6 years. Reasons for glaucoma suspicion and the number of referred patients were 111 (75.5%) high cup/disc ratio, 23 (15.6%) high intraocular pressure and 13 (8.8%) both of these. The diagnostic outcome was as follows: glaucoma, 26 (17.7%); glaucoma suspect, 4 (2.7%); ocular hypertension (OHT), 14 (9.5%); no glaucoma and no ocular hypertension, 89 (60.5%); and normal, 18 (12.2%). Conclusions: Glaucoma, glaucoma suspect and ocular hypertension were confirmed in 27.2% of patients suspicious for glaucoma referred from the company health screening. Thus, the company health screening appears to be relatively sensitive to detecting glaucoma patients.
