Association of commonly used systemic medications with glaucoma prevalence and intraocular pressure across Europe: the E3 Consortium
Purpose : To investigate the association of common systemic medication use with intraocular pressure and glaucoma prevalence in the European population.Methods : We examined associations of systemic medication use with intraocular pressure and glaucoma prevalence in a meta-analysis of multiple cohort studies of the European Eye Epidemiology (E3) consortium. IOP measurement method and glaucoma ascertainment were according to individual study protocols.
