The Relationship Between Ambient Atmospheric Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) and Glaucoma in a Large Community Cohort.

Greater exposure to PM2.5 is associated with both self-reported glaucoma and adverse structural characteristics of the disease.

Comparison of Associations with Different Macular Inner Retinal Thickness Parameters in a Large Cohort: The UK Biobank.

The novel associations we identified may be important to consider when using inner retinal parameters as a diagnostic tool.

Associations with Retinal Pigment Epithelium Thickness Measures in a Large Cohort: Results from the UK Biobank.

We describe novel findings of RPE-BM thickness in normal individuals, a structure that varies with age, ethnicity, refraction, IOP, and smoking.

Ambient Air Pollution Associations with Retinal Morphology in the UK Biobank.

Greater exposure to PM2.5, PM2.5 absorbance, and nitrogen oxides were all associated with apparently adverse retinal structural features.

The Association of Alcohol Consumption with Glaucoma and Related Traits: Findings from the UK Biobank.

Alcohol intake was consistently and adversely associated with glaucoma and related traits, and at levels below current United Kingdom (< 112 g/week) and United States (women, < 98 g/week; men, < 196 g/week) guidelines.

Calcium Channel Blocker Use and Associated Glaucoma and Related Traits Among UK Biobank Participants.

In this study, an adverse association between CCB use and glaucoma was observed, with CCB users having, on average, 39% higher odds of glaucoma.

The UK clinical eye research strategy: refreshing research priorities for clinical eye research in the UK.

A decade after the initial PSP, the results refocus the most important research questions for each subspecialty, and prime targeted research proposals within Ophthalmology, a chronically underfunded specialty given the substantial burden of disability caused…

Associations with Intraocular Pressure in a Large Cohort: Results from the UK Biobank.

This analysis of associations with IOP in a large cohort demonstrated that some variables clearly have different associations with IOPg and IOPcc, and that these 2 measurements may reflect different biological characteristics.
