CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.

All glaucoma analyses were adjusted for body mass index, use of antibiotics, probiotics, proton-pump inhibitors, lipid-lowering medications and antidiabetics, travelling, and technical covariates (time sample has spent in the mail, the season in which the sample was produced, the number of reads, the DNA isolation batch and the sequencing batch). Intraocular pressure and vertical cup-to-disc ratio analyses were additionally adjusted for age and sex.
