Association of Ambient Air Pollution Exposure With Incident Glaucoma: 12-Year Evidence From the UK Biobank Cohort
Higher levels of exposure to ambient air pollutants, particularly PM2.5, are associated with an increased risk of developing glaucoma. These results highlight the potential public health impact of ambient air pollution on glaucoma risk and underscore the urgent need for further research into targeted environmental interventions in this domain.
