A recent study conducted by Harvard Medical School compared the structural and functional features of primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The study found that patients with PACG had thicker global retinal nerve fiber layer, smaller cup volume, smaller cup-to-disc ratio, and larger rim area compared to patients with POAG. On the other hand, patients with POAG had more pronounced inferior retinal nerve fiber layer thinning. The study suggests that understanding these regional differences in patterns of functional and structural loss can improve disease monitoring for these glaucoma subtypes.
