Prevalence and risk factors for angle‐closure disease in a rural Northeast China population: a population‐based survey in Bin County, Harbin

Purpose:  To estimate the prevalence of primary angle‐closure glaucoma (PACG), primary angle closure (PAC) and primary angle‐closure suspect (PACS) and associated risk factors for PACG in a rural population in Northeast China.
