Fine Particulate Matter and Age-Related Eye Disease: The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.

The overall mean PM2.5 level was 6.5 µg/m3 (SD = 1.8).

Ambient Air Pollution and Age-Related Eye Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Current evidence suggests there may be an association between some air pollutants and cataract, AMD, and glaucoma.

Vision, Eye Disease, and the Onset of Balance Problems: The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.

These data provide longitudinal evidence that vision loss increases the odds of balance problems over a 3-year period.

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Systemic Antihypertensive Medications With Intraocular Pressure and Glaucoma.

Systemic antihypertensive medications have heterogeneous effects on glaucoma and IOP. Clinicians should be aware that systemic antihypertensive medications may mask elevated IOP or positively or negatively affect the risk of glaucoma.

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.
