Aim The aim was to describe and analyze the epidemiological data of juvenile glaucoma in a population of patients who gravitate to Clinic of Ophthalmology, Clinical Centre of Kragujevac in central Serbia. Method A three-year retrospective study included epidemiological data from standard protocols for monitoring patients with glaucoma, from January 2010, to January 2013. Parameters were analyzed: gender, age and family history of patients with juvenile and suspect juvenile glaucoma. Results The incidence of primary juvenile glaucoma was 0.20 per 100.000 patients. Based on the diagnostic criteria of 36 patients (15 to 30 years of age) was given in a period recorded with primary juvenile and suspected juvenile glaucoma. Of 36 patients, who according to the diagnostic criteria, 20 had juvenile glaucoma (55.55 %) were female and 16 (44.44 %) were men. Difference between the incidence of juvenile glaucoma by sex was statistically non-significant (χ² = 0.444, p = 0.505). The most common age group was 26 - 30 years, predominantly 12 (33.33 %) diagnosed of juvenile glaucoma compared 2 (5.55 %) with suspected juvenile glaucoma with the statistically significant difference (χ ² = 7.523, p = 0.027). The correlation between the number of diagnosed and the number of suspected juvenile glaucoma was not statistically significant (χ ² = 0.051, p = 0.821). Correlation half with a positive (27, 75%) and a negative (9, 25%) family anamnesis of juvenile glaucoma was statistical significant (χ²=9.00, p=0.003). Conclusion The incidence of primary juvenile glaucoma was low. Juvenile glaucoma is a clinical entity that is related to the age of 15 to 30 years. The incidence of the disease is highest in the age group of 26 to 30 years. During the reporting period, juvenile glaucoma and suspect juvenile glaucoma are rare, with a tendency to increase. Juvenile glaucoma is more common in people with a positive family history.
