The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between statin use and glaucoma-related traits. In a cross-sectional study, we included 118,153 UK Biobank participants with data on statin use and corneal-compensated IOP. In addition, we included 192,283 participants (8982 cases) with data...
