This study found that a genetic risk score for glaucoma predicts higher intraocular pressure and glaucoma prevalence more strongly with increasing age, highlighting age's importance in genetic screening.

This study found a glaucoma polygenic risk score significantly improved POAG prediction, raising concordance from 0.75 to 0.82. This tool could enhance screening and identify high-risk individuals for earlier intervention.

This genetic study found that predicted smoking initiation and intensity were linked to lower intraocular pressure and reduced glaucoma risk, suggesting a complex inverse relationship needing further pathophysiological investigation.

This study found statin use was not associated with lower IOP or glaucoma risk, nor did it significantly impact retinal nerve fiber or ganglion cell layer thickness, suggesting no protective role for glaucoma.

Studying caffeine intake and glaucoma, researchers found high genetic risk for elevated IOP combined with significant caffeine consumption increased IOP and glaucoma prevalence, suggesting a gene-diet interaction is clinically relevant.
