Characteristics of Eyes with Asymptomatic Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma with Varying Severity of Visual Field Loss at Presentation.

Prcis: Approximately 38% of 467 asymptomatic primary angle closure glaucoma subjects had severe visual field loss (<-20 dB) at first presentation. Gender-based differences in prevalence and biometry suggests the need for an integrated approach for assessing risk.

Purpose: To compare the clinical characteristics of patients with asymptomatic primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) across varying disease severity at presentation.
