Highlight

  • Comparing glaucoma definitions using diagnosis alone versus diagnosis plus treatment in UK Biobank participants.
  • Stronger odds ratios for established risk factors and biomarkers observed when treatment evidence is included in case definitions.
  • Findings underscore importance of precise phenotyping in large biobank studies for glaucoma research and risk stratification.
