This study found no significant difference in BMI between glaucoma patients and controls, suggesting obesity is likely not a glaucoma risk factor.

Glaucoma patients showed an inverse correlation between blood pressure and endothelin-1-induced vasoconstriction, meaning lower blood pressure correlated with increased sensitivity. This suggests ET-1 related microvascular dysfunction contributes to glaucoma.

This study found silent myocardial ischemia is significantly more common in glaucoma, especially normal-tension glaucoma, suggesting a cardiovascular link requiring clinical awareness.

Nailfold capillary blood flow was studied in glaucoma. Normal-tension glaucoma patients showed significantly reduced fingertip blood velocity, especially after cold exposure, suggesting microvascular dysfunction may contribute to this disease.
