  1. Continuous data on age and number of prescribed medications are shown as median values and interquartile range, whereas continuous data of IOP and ACD are shown as the mean ± standard deviation
  2. Abbreviations: PACD primary angle closure disease, PACS primary angle closure suspect, PAC primary angle closure, PACG primary angle closure glaucoma, IOP intraocular pressure, ACD anterior chamber depth
  3. *1: One patient was excluded because IOP was normal at hospitalization after using IOP-lowering medication at other hospital
  4. *2: One patient was excluded because measurement of ACD was used non-contact tonometer
