Article Synopsis
- Glaucoma is a major global cause of blindness, primarily linked to intraocular pressure, with vitamin D being proposed as a potential factor affecting both pressure levels and the health of retinal cells.
- Two-sample Mendelian randomisation analyses were conducted using data from the SUNLIGHT consortium and UK Biobank to examine the relationship between vitamin D levels and the risk of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
- Results indicated no causal link between vitamin D levels or deficiency and the risk of developing POAG, suggesting that vitamin D supplementation might not effectively lower POAG risk and highlighting the need to explore other risk factors.
