Prevalence of Glaucoma and Its Systemic Risk Factors in a General Japanese Population: The Hisayama Study.

The prevalence of glaucoma was approximately 8%, probably due to the increase in the Japanese aging population.

Association of the CYP39A1 G204E Genetic Variant with Increased Risk of Glaucoma and Blindness in Patients with Exfoliation Syndrome.

Patients with XFS carrying the CYP39A1 G204E mutation had significantly increased risk of blindness, higher occurrence of XFG, and more severe glaucoma compared with patients with XFS without any CYP39A1 mutation.

Association between corneal hysteresis and glaucoma in a Japanese population: the Hisayama Study.

These results demonstrated a significant inverse association between corneal hysteresis and the likelihood of glaucoma, suggesting that the measurement of corneal hysteresis would provide useful information for elucidating the aetiology of glaucoma.
