NHS Business Service Authority</p><p>Wider data on the total number of people diagnosed
with glaucoma is not collected. The data does not include individuals diagnosed with
glaucoma, where no admission to hospital was necessary, as this will include patients
provided with eye drops for the management of their condition, the most common treatment.
The data presented is not a count of people, as the same person may have been admitted
to hospital on more than one occasion within any given time period.</p>
