    Higher myopia is linked to increased intraocular pressure (IOP) in adults aged 40+. This association varied by ethnic origin, suggesting genetic factors may influence glaucoma risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.
    • Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a primary risk factor for glaucoma.
    • Refractive status, particularly myopia, has been investigated for its association with IOP.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the association between refractive status and intraocular pressure (IOP) in an adult population.
    • To investigate potential ethnic differences in the IOP-refractive status relationship.

    Main Methods:

    • A population-based screening of 2,594 residents aged 40 and above in southern Israel (1982-1984).
    • Measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) and refractive status (spherical equivalent).
    • Statistical analysis of the association between IOP and refractive error categories.

    Main Results:

    • A significant positive association was found between myopia and higher IOP (>20 mm Hg).
    • Mean IOP increased progressively from hypermetropes (14.19 mm Hg) to high myopes (16.00 mm Hg).
    • The association between refractive status and IOP was more pronounced in individuals of North African or Asian Jewish origin compared to European Jewish origin.

    Conclusions:

    • Myopia is associated with elevated intraocular pressure in adults aged 40 and over.
    • Ethnic background may modify the relationship between refractive status and IOP, potentially impacting glaucoma risk stratification.
