Phenotypic Description of the Spanish Multicentre Genetic Glaucoma Group Cohort.

CONCLUSIONS: The strength of the hereditary component of glaucoma seems to worsen the clinical course, causing more structural and functional damage and requiring more intense glaucoma treatment. The family history of glaucoma should be carefully investigated and taken into consideration when making treatment decisions or intensifying previous treatment. PMID: 29082038 [PubMed]
