  • *Model 1 adjusted for age, gender and ethnicity, diabetes, BMI, smoking status and antihypertensive medication.

  • †Model 2 adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, diabetes, BMI, smoking status antihypertensive medication, IOP-lowering treatment and IOP.

  • BMI, body mass index; IOP, intraocular pressure; OPP, ocular perfusion pressure.
