Wang YE, et al. - Among the US populace, the link between glaucoma and daily dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including ω-3 fatty acids, was analyzed in this study. Findings demonstrated that lower likelihood of glaucomatous optic neuropathy was observed in association with increased daily dietary consumption levels of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. However, a higher risk of glaucoma was reported in association with the consumption levels of total PUFAs in the higher quartiles, possibly attributed to the relative intakes of ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids and other confounding comorbidities. A postulation was also proposed that increasing the proportion of dietary ω-3 consumption levels while controlling overall daily PUFA intake may be protective against glaucoma.
