CI, confidence interval; β, coefficient represents a comparison of IOP in the treatment group relative to that in the placebo group (negative values indicate that the treatment group had a lower IOP compared to that in the placebo group).

a

Adjusted for age at eye exam, duration of hormone therapy, race, body mass index, treatment adherence, lens status (pseudophakia, yes/no, excluding aphakia), and history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, or alcohol use.

b

Reported glaucoma or glaucoma treatment at the Women's Health Initiative baseline examination or the Women's Health Initiative Sight Exam study visits.
