hypothyroid and glaucoma (my approach to glaucoma series :)

Submitted by robekb on Sun, 05/02/2010 - 2:43pm

Based on this what I have found in myself, I can say that malfunctioning thyroid could be a significant glaucoma risk for some. Let's add that it would be an underrated risk because in almost none of the standard textbooks on glaucoma you would find any mention about it.

The research evidence behind the hypothyroid and glaucoma is mixed. Earlier research does not report any significant link, newer research, on larger samples though, indicates the existence of this connection.
