Comparison of Structural and Functional Features in Primary Angle Closure and Open Angle Glaucomas.

ABSTRACT:

Prcis

Using a large data set, we showed structural and functional differences between primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Primary angle closure glaucoma has relative structural preservation and worse functional loss inferiorly.

Purpose

To identify structural and functional differences in PACG and POAG.

Materials and methods

In this large cross-sectional study, differences in structural and functional damage were assessed among patients with POAG and PACG with optical coherence tomography and reliable visual field testing.

Results

In all, 283 patients with PACG and 4110 patients with POAG were included. Despite similar mean deviation on visual fields (mean [SD] -7.73 [7.92] vs. -7.53 [6.90] dB, P =0.72), patients with PA
