This study found low-carbohydrate diets generally aren't linked to primary open-angle glaucoma. However, plant-based low-carb diets *might* reduce risk for the POAG subtype with early paracentral visual field loss.

This study found higher dietary nitrate and green leafy vegetable intake was associated with lower primary open-angle glaucoma risk, especially for early paracentral visual field loss, suggesting a potential dietary intervention.

This study found higher BMI was associated with a lower risk of low-tension primary open-angle glaucoma in women, but not men. This suggests gender-specific metabolic factors may influence glaucoma pathogenesis.

This study found overall caffeine intake wasn't linked to glaucoma risk, but high consumption (5+ cups coffee) might increase risk for those with a family history of glaucoma.

This study found type 2 diabetes significantly increases primary open-angle glaucoma risk in women, highlighting the need for increased glaucoma screening in diabetic female patients.
