  • *P values represent comparisons between APAC, POAG, and control groups using analysis of variance analysis.

  • †P value represent pairwise comparison between each groups using Bonferroni correction or Dunn’s test.

  • APAC, acute primary-angle closure; PCD, peripapillary perfused capillary density; POAG, primary open-angle glaucoma.;
