XENGel Stent compared to PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt implantation for primary open-angle glaucoma: two-year results.

Xen Gel Stent and PreserFlo MicroShunt implantations achieved comparable results in POAG eyes in terms of IOP-lowering and surgical success, with a similar high safety profile.

Association of Diabetes Medication With Open-Angle Glaucoma, Age-Related Macular Degeneration, and Cataract in the Rotterdam Study.

Results of this cohort study suggest that, although diabetes was clearly associated with cataract, diabetes medication was not.

The relation between dietary intake and glaucoma: a systematic review.

Intake of selenium and iron may increase the risk of glaucoma, though, only few studies have been done on this topic.

Association of Systemic Medication Use with Glaucoma and Intraocular Pressure: The European Eye Epidemiology Consortium.

We identified a potentially harmful association between use of CCBs and glaucoma prevalence.

Glaucoma Patients Have a Lower Abundance of Butyrate-Producing Taxa in the Gut.

Large human studies exploring the link between the gut microbiome and glaucoma are lacking. Our results suggest that microbial dysbiosis plays a role in the pathophysiology of glaucoma.

Prevalence of Glaucoma in Europe and Projections to 2050: Findings from the European Eye Epidemiology Consortium.

The current and future burden of glaucoma in Europe may be substantially higher than previously estimated, with a considerable proportion of disease in the general population remaining undetected.

Genetic Associations Between Smoking- and Glaucoma-Related Traits.

MR experiments and GRS generated from Rotterdam Study participants support an inverse relationship between smoking and glaucoma.

The Clinical Usefulness of a Glaucoma Polygenic Risk Score in 4 Population-Based European Ancestry Cohorts.

Incorporating a PRS into a POAG predictive model improves identification concordance from 0.75 up to 0.82, supporting its potential for guiding more cost-effective screening strategies.

The Effect of Carotid Atherosclerosis on the Risk for Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Among participants with OAG, an increased cIMT was associated with a younger age at diagnosis. In patients with OAG and unexplained continuous progression, a screening ultrasound examination of the carotid arteries might be considered.

Prognostic factors of optical coherence tomography angiography in intermediate and advanced primary open-angle glaucoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Peripapillary VD may be a useful predictor of VF progression in intermediate and advanced glaucoma patients.

Decoding the Cornea-Glaucoma Association: Evidence From Mendelian Randomization.

We found no evidence for a causal link between CCT and OAG. Nevertheless, CCT measurements are still valuable for population-based risk stratification. We found no clear relationship between FECD and OAG.
