Increased levels of the N-acylethanolamine oxylipins 9NAE-HOD and 15(S)-HETE EA correlate with higher intraocular pressure and declining visual function. a 9NAE-HOD levels correlate moderately with intraocular pressure (IOP) and weakly with visual acuity (VA) and contrast sensitivity (CS), but not significantly. b 13NAE-HOD levels do not correlate with VA, CS, or IOP. c 15(S)-HETE EA levels correlate weakly with IOP, but not significantly. There is a strong correlation that approaches statistical significance between 15(S)-HETE EA and CS. A statistically significant, strong correlation is seen between 15(S)-HETE EA and VA. d Table of statistical values from correlations a–c. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. IOP measurements are symbolized with triangles, VA with circles, and CS with squares. Open symbols represent young eyes and closed symbols aged eyes. Dashed lines represent the 95 % confidence interval
