Table 1. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients.
Characteristics | PACG | Cataract | P value |

IOP1, mean (SD), mmHg | 24.2 (10.5) | 13.7 (3.5) | <0.001† |
IOP2, mean (SD), mmHg | 19.7 (7.6) | 13.7 (3.5)* | <0.001† |

Abbreviations: IOP1, the recorded highest intraocular pressure; IOP2, the intraocular pressure measured before surgery; IQ, interquartile range; MD, mean defect; PACG, primary angle-closed glaucoma; PSD, pattern standard deviation; SD, standard deviation.
The IOP of cataract patients was only measured once before surgery, so the IOP2 is the same as IOP1.
The differences of age and IOP between the two groups were tested by two-sample independent t-test.
The difference of the sex distribution between the two groups was tested by χ2-test.
