Key Points

The aim is to examine the relationship between loss to follow-up and changes in the cup-to-disc ratio among patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
Analyzed data from the IRIS Registry
Identified patients with primary open-angle glaucoma
Monitored changes in cup-to-disc ratio over time
Computed incidence of loss to follow-up
Patients experiencing loss to follow-up showed a higher rate of increase in cup-to-disc ratio.
Loss to follow-up was confirmed as an independent risk factor for worsening cup-to-disc ratio.
Significant correlation between follow-up continuity and maintaining stable cup-to-disc ratios.
