Increased risk of acute angle closure in retinitis pigmentosa: a population-based case-control study.

<h4>Purpose</h4>To investigate the association between retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and acute angle closure during a 15-year follow-up period.<h4>Methods</h4>Using the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000, we identified 382 RP patients based on the diagnostic code...

Acute angle closure occurred in 5 RP patients (1.3%) and in 15 controls (0.4%).
