Glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) can be genetically transmitted among first-degree relatives (FDRs). Therefore, screening for glaucoma in FDRs can significantly increase the chances of early detection. This study aimed to evaluate the differences in glaucoma screening uptake among FDRs in community and hospital-based settings and the underlying factors, as well as the prevalence of glaucoma in FDRs.
