Abstrakt: A recent study conducted in Andhra Pradesh, India, explored the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The study found that there is a negative association between serum UA levels and the severity of POAG. The research involved 200 recently diagnosed POAG patients and 199 healthy subjects as the control group. The findings suggest that decreased serum UA levels may play a role in the pathogenesis of POAG. [Extracted from the article]
