Is Hyperopia an Important Risk Factor for PACG in the Dutch Population?—A Case Control Study

Table 2

Hyperopia defined as a refractive error spherical equivalent (SE) ≥ 0.5 dioptres (D) for the main outcome and SE ≥ 3.0 D for a subanalysis. Odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) are shown. Results of the one-sided Fisher’s test were assumed to be significant.
