purpose: to compare the prevalence of glaucoma among peptic ulcer patients with or without helicobacter pylori infection. methods: among 352 patients with an indication of gasterointestinal endoscopy for peptic problems, 120 patients in 18-88 years of age were included for evaluation of glaucoma. according to the results of histopathologic and urease test, they were divided into two groups: helicobacter pylori positive and negative. all cases were evaluated by expert ophthalmologists for presence or absence of glaucoma in a double blind fashion. these patients were examined for iop, visual field, and fundoscopic evidence of glaucoma. results: glaucoma was detected in 43.1 % of patients with positive histopathology for helicobacter pylori vs 22.5% in patients with negative histopathology for helicobacter pylori (p= 0.016). all cases of glaucoma were normal tension glaucoma. conclusion: prevalence of normal tension glaucoma in peptic ulcer patients with positive histopathology for helicobacter pylori is significantly more than patients with negative histopathology for helicobacter pylori. ophthalmologic evaluation of these patients for early onset of glaucoma is suggested.
