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 linked specific metabolites to eye health: branched-chain amino acids with lower IOP, HDL metabolites with thinner RNFL, and LDL metabolites with thicker GCIPL, identifying potential biomarkers for glaucoma risk.

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.
