Data are presented as counts (proportions) by column. The grading is based on standard photographs of all quadrants in the right eyes.

*

The P-values of Pearson χ2 test for the comparison of proportions of UBM features in cases and controls. P1 is for comparison between cases and the controls defined by pigment trabecular meshwork not visible in less than two quadrants (control-1); P2 was for comparison between cases and the controls defined by PTM visible in all quadrants (control-2).
