Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To compare the prevalence of angle closure among siblings of patients with open angles (OAs), suspect angle closure (PACS), and either primary angle closure (PAC) or PAC glaucoma (PACG). DESIGN: Cross-sectional, clinical study. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 303 South Indian sibling pairs, including 81 OA probands, 143 PACS probands, and 79 PAC/PACG probands. METHODS: Probands and siblings underwent a clinical...
