INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HYPOTHYROIDISM AND PRIMARY OPEN ANGLE GLAUCOMA: A CASE-CONTROL STUDY

Abstract

Background: Hypothyroidism and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) are common 
disorders affecting various systems of the body, including the endocrine and visual systems. 
While previous studies have suggested a potential association between hypothyroidism and 
POAG, the precise nature of this relationship remains unclear. This case-control study aims to 
investigate the association between hypothyroidism and the risk of developing POAG
