is a prevalent issue concerning eye health in Sudan. This study sought to
evaluate the clinical demographic characteristics linked to lens-induced
glaucoma in Western Sudan. Methodology: This retrospective study was
conducted at Makkah Eye Complex in North Kordofan State, Sudan, from August
2021 to August 2022.The study analyzed a cohort of 130 patients who presented
at the clinic with complaints of blurred vision, pain, and headache, ensuring
comprehensive coverage during the designated period. Results: This
study examined 130 patients with LIG, comprising 45 males (34.6%) and 85
females (65.4%), aged 46 to 90 years, with a mean age of 66 years.
Seventy-six percent of the patients were rural inhabitants (99 out of 130).
Phacomorphic cases accounted for 110 out of 130 (84.6%), while Phacolytic
cases comprised 20 out of 130 (15.4%). Conclusion: LIG is commonly observed in
Sudan, characterized primarily by the Phacomorphic type of glaucoma. Females
are impacted more often than males. LIG is frequently observed among the
older rural Sudanese population, highlighting the need for increased
awareness and health education. Keywords:
