Statin Use and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Severity in Patients of African Ancestry

2026-06-11

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Objective The evidence supporting the benefit of statins in the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is mixed, and their effect among patients of African ancestry is largely unexplored. This study examines the association of statins with the prevalence and severity of POAG in this ancestry group. <h4>Design:</h4> Cross-sectional study. Subjects: 5715 subjects of African anc...
