A total of 60 correspondents (30 cases and 30 controls) were assessed for general ophthalmological investigations including intraocular pressure (IOP), axial length AXL, ophthalmoscopy, visual field (VF) testing and spectral domain ocular computed tomography (SDOCT).\r\nResults: The mean age of subjects was 62 years (Cases 67.30\u00b11.2, controls 57.32\u00b11.1) with more male participants. Intraocular pressure [IOP (19.85 \u00b11.4)], AXL (22.85 \u00b1 1.6), VF defects (8.30 \u00b1 4.5), RNFLT (72.58 \u00b1 13.2) and LCT (162.51 \u00b1 64.62) were statistically significant in POAG patients as compared to the controls.\r\nConclusion: A thinner LC in POAG correlated significantly with the RNFLT and VF defects. LC anatomical parameters can be estimated with precision using SDOCT with enhanced depth imaging (EDI).\r\ndoi: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12669\/pjms.36.3.1553\r\nHow to cite this:Naz AS, Qamar A, Sama-Ul-Haque, Zaman Y, Faheem F.
