Meaning  Statin use, which is highly prevalent among older persons at risk for primary open-angle glaucoma, was associated with a lower risk of primary open-angle glaucoma.

In this population-based cohort study of 886 incident cases of primary open-angle glaucoma from 136 782 participants who contributed person-time for up to 15 or more years and provided repeated updated data on statin use and cholesterol levels, 5 or more years of statin use was associated with a 21% lower risk of primary open-angle glaucoma, while every 20-mg/dL increase in total serum cholesterol was associated with a 7% increase in risk of primary open-angle glaucoma.
