The Evaluation of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Ganglion Cell Complex Thickness in Adult Offspring of Primary Open-angle Glaucoma Patients

Conclusions: In adult offspring of POAG patients, especially in the inferior quadrant, the RNFL and GCC thickness are significantly lower than in subjects without a family history. Prospective, controlled clinical trials with longer follow-up are needed to better understand whether these changes are an early indicator of glaucoma, and the progression of glaucoma disease.
