Description
Summary:Background/Objectives to establish the incidence, prevalence and long-term outcomes of primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) in Northern Ireland’s general and Irish Traveller (IT) populations over a 59-year period. Subjects/Methods chart review of all PCG cases in Northern Ireland between 1962 and 2020. Incidence and prevalence were calculated with the aid of national population statistics. Long-term outcomes were analysed for eyes with at least 5 years follow up. Visual outcomes were stratified into groups: good –VA ≥ 6/12; moderate– VA 6/12 to 6/60, poor –VA
