Relevance. One of the most significant challenges for glaucoma patients can be the lack of or distance from specialized ophthalmology facilities and qualified specialists. In this regard, telemedicine offers an effective solution to this problem, as it helps address these barriers. Purpose of the study. To determine the five-year risk of developing primary openangle glaucoma (POAG) in patients with ocular hypertension based on remote examinations. Materials and methods. The study included clinical cases of patients over 40 years of age with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and/or glaucomatous changes in the optic nerve head (ONH) suspected of having POAG. A specially developed online platform was used to calculate the five-year risk of developing glaucoma. Results and conclusion. The evaluation of the five-year risk of POAG in patients with ocular hypertension aids in predicting the likelihood of the disease within the next five years. An average score of 1.9 indicates a moderate impact of IOP on overall risk, while a score of 3.8 demonstrates a significant influence of pattern standard deviation (PSD) on disease progression. The application of a mathematical system for calculating the five-year risk of POAG in patients with ocular hypertension may serve as an effective tool for monitoring eye health in this group, allowing timely initiation of pharmacological treatment to stabilize IOP and prevent glaucoma progression.
