Quality of Life and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study
In this cross-sectional study, among the surviving participants of OHTS who completed the 20-year follow-up examination, those participants who developed preperimetric POAG but no glaucomatous VF loss did not report lower VFQoL compared with participants who did not develop POAG. This finding should allow clinicians and patients the time to determine the frequency of examinations and whether the initiation of treatment is appropriate.
