Findings reveal iron overload increases glaucoma risk in patients, suggesting targeted care may improve outcomes.
Our findings suggest that patients with iron overload may benefit from targeted ophthalmologic referral, particularly those with visual symptoms or additional risk factors. The association between iron dysregulation and glaucoma highlights opportunities for interdisciplinary care, risk stratification using ferritin, and mechanistic research into ferroptosis-driven neurodegeneration, with implications for iron-targeted neuroprotective strategies.
