Abstract :

The paper reports the findings of a study conducted to identify dermatoglyphics characteristics that can be used as screening tools for persons susceptible to primary glaucoma. Data was collected on 103 primary glaucoma patients(30 males,73 females) from glaucoma OPD of NRS Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata and on 87 controls(40 males,47 females). The study revealed that the occurrence of whorl pattern was significantly less in female primary glaucoma patients as compared to the female control group, but the arch pattern showed significantly higher chance of occurring in female patients in comparison to the control group
