Incidence of glaucoma in women with bilateral oophorectomy and in women without bilateral oophorectomy (referent women). Separate curves are shown for the three tertiles of age at the time of bilateral oophorectomy (before age 43 years, between age 43 and 48 years, and older than age 48 years). Note the particularly increased risk of glaucoma in women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy before the age of 43 years. BO = bilateral oophorectomy.
