Alcohol Consumption, Genetic Risk, and Intraocular Pressure and Glaucoma: The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.

Alcohol frequency and total alcohol intake were associated with elevated IOP but not with glaucoma. The PRS modified the association between total alcohol intake and IOP. Findings should be confirmed in longitudinal analyses.

Inverse Association of APOE ε4 and Glaucoma Modified by Systemic Hypertension: The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.

Evidence increasingly points to the APOE ε4 allele having protective benefits against glaucoma, but this association was limited to those without systemic hypertension.
