This study found wider retinal arterioles linked to lower glaucoma odds, but glaucoma itself narrowed arterioles over time. Wider venules predicted higher AMD risk, highlighting microvascular changes as potential disease markers.

This study found specific genes (KIBRA, PDE7A/MTFR1) may modify the link between eye diseases like glaucoma/AMD and cognitive function, suggesting a genetic influence on this complex relationship.

This study found daily/total alcohol intake was linked to higher intraocular pressure, especially in those with higher genetic glaucoma risk, but not directly to glaucoma itself.

This review found systemic beta-blockers lower glaucoma risk and IOP, while calcium channel blockers increase glaucoma risk. Clinicians should consider these varied effects on IOP and glaucoma.

This study found APOE ε4 is linked to lower glaucoma risk, but only in individuals without systemic hypertension, suggesting a protective role modified by blood pressure.

This meta-analysis found consistent evidence that higher PM2.5 exposure is associated with an increased risk of glaucoma, suggesting air pollution may impact eye health.

Grant Alyssa, Leung Gareth, Aubin Marie-Josée, Kergoat Marie-Jeanne, Li Gisèle, Freeman Ellen E

This study found increased fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure is associated with higher glaucoma risk and intraocular pressure, suggesting air quality may impact eye health and warranting further investigation for public health guidelines.

This study found vision loss, particularly from cataracts, significantly increases the odds of developing balance problems over three years, highlighting the need for vision preservation and balance interventions.

This study found glaucoma patients scored lower on verbal working memory and encoding tests. Reduced activity levels partially mediated this link, suggesting interventions for visually impaired individuals could slow cognitive decline.

This study found that older adults with AMD, Fuchs' dystrophy, or glaucoma had significantly lower cognitive scores, suggesting a link between common age-related vision loss and cognitive function.

This study estimated ocular rigidity in glaucoma, OHT, and normal eyes. Glaucoma patients had the lowest rigidity, while OHT patients had the highest, suggesting a more compliant eye may increase glaucoma risk.

Wang Meng Ying, Rousseau Jacqueline, Boisjoly Hélène, Schmaltz Heidi, Kergoat Marie-Jeanne, Moghadaszadeh Solmaz et al.

Older adults with glaucoma, AMD, or Fuchs disease commonly limit activity due to fear of falling (40-50% vs. 16% of controls), especially due to reduced contrast sensitivity. This highlights a need to address fall risk and social isolation in these patients.

Popescu Mihaela L, Boisjoly Hélène, Schmaltz Heidi, Kergoat Marie-Jeanne, Rousseau Jacqueline, Moghadaszadeh Solmaz et al.

Glaucoma and other age-related eye diseases increase depression risk in older adults, partly due to reduced mobility, highlighting the need for mental health and mobility support.

Popescu Mihaela L, Boisjoly Hélène, Schmaltz Heidi, Kergoat Marie-Jeanne, Rousseau Jacqueline, Moghadaszadeh Solmaz et al.

This study found older adults with glaucoma experienced the most widespread mobility limitations (balance, walking, driving, life-space) compared to those with AMD, Fuchs' dystrophy, or good vision.

This study found bilateral glaucoma significantly increases self-reported difficulty with daily visual tasks, even more than unilateral glaucoma or visual acuity alone, highlighting its impact on quality of life.
