LI, Wan; FENG, Aozi; SOLIS ALFONSO, Lesly  and  FERNANDEZ-BRITTO RODRIGUEZ, José Emilio. Scientific production published by Cuban authors on the primary open angle glaucoma in the last 35 years. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.2, pp.1-14. ISSN 0864-2176.

A literature review was made to analyze the scientific production published by Cuban authors on the primary open angle glaucoma in the last 35 years. To this end, the scientific articles from the medical journals included in Medline (PubMed), Regional SciELO, CUMED, IBECS and Lilacs. Thirtty three articles were recovered in total, 27 were original manuscripts, 4 literature reviews and one case report. The reported results of such studies show the achievements attained by the Cuban researchers in the field of this important eye disease, particularly the anti-glaucoma treatments and the early screening of patients with glaucomatous risk factors. However, no paper about the relationship of this disease with atherosclerotic risk factors was found, which would have serve as a basis for the conduction of new research studies.

Keywords : primary open angle glaucoma; Cuban scientific production; bibliometric study.
