Aqueous humor dynamics, visual fields, optic discs, anterior chamber angles, and topical cortidosteroid responsiveness were studied in twenty parents of children having primary congenital glaucoma. The findings indicate that parents of children with primary congenital glaucoma resemble the general population with respect to the parameters tested, and do not resemble close relatives of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
