Obesity in children was associated with higher IOP and thinner RNFL/CFT/SFCT; leaves open future glaucoma or macular disease risk, requiring prospective studies.
Childhood obesity is associated with higher intraocular pressure and decreased retinal and choroidal thickness, potentially increasing the risk of future glaucoma and macular diseases.
