Phakic participants aged ≥40 years who participated in both examination time points. All participants at the baseline and at the mean 15-year follow-up visit underwent a detailed interview, anthropometry, blood pressure measurement, and comprehensive eye examination. Automated perimetry was attempted based on predefined criteria. Main outcome measures included development of any form of PACD, as defined by the International Society for Geographical and Epidemiological Ophthalmology (ISGEO), during the follow-up period in phakic participants, who did not have the disease at baseline. We analyzed data obtained from 1,197 (81.4% out of available 1,470) participants to calculate the incidence of the disease. The mean age (standard deviation) of the study participants at the baseline was 50.2 (8.1) years, with 670 male (45.5%) and 800 female (54.4%) participants. The incidence rate per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval) for primary angle closure suspect, primary angle closure, and primary angle closure glaucoma was 8.8 (8.4, 9.2), 6.2 (5.9, 6.6), and 1.6 (1.4, 1.8), respectively. Thus, the incidence of all forms of PACD was 16.4 (15.9, 17) per 100 person-years. On logistic regression analysis, female gender was a significant risk factor whereas presence of myopia was protective. This study reports long-term incidence of PACD from rural India. It has implications for eye health care policies, strategies, and planning. This study reports long-term incidence of PACD from rural India.
