No Evidence That Vitamin D Levels or Deficiency Are Associated with the Risk of Open-Angle Glaucoma in Individuals of European Ancestry: A Mendelian Randomisation Analysis
These results indicate that vitamin D may not be a significant factor in modifying POAG risk, challenging the hypothesis that vitamin D supplementation could be effective in reducing POAG risk. Further research should focus on identifying other potential risk factors for POAG prevention strategies.
