PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 yrs (OHTS I, June 2002) and 13.0 yrs (completion of both phases of OHTS, March 2009)

Population: 1636 ocular hypertensive participants were randomized to either close observation or treatment with topical hypotensive eyedrops from February 1994 through June 2002. In June 2002 the observation participants were offered treatment with topical hypotensive eyedrops.

Comparison of the cumulative proportion of participants who develop primary open-angle glaucoma in the observation and medication groups.
