Glaucoma and Dementia

[Lionella]

Hi,

Enquiring if anyone has noted any UK studies about incidents of dementia higher in Glaucoma patients. At the moment can only see US references.

Thank you.

Hello. There was an article published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology (March 2021) which mentions dementia can be related to Normal Tension Glaucoma .

Primary open angle glaucoma and dementia have been linked in some previous studies, but not all studies have found this association.
