Follow-up time represents the time since glaucoma diagnosis or the first visit (for cases or controls, respectively). Abbreviations: BCVA: best corrected visual acuity; IOP: intraocular pressure; ONH: optic nerve head; CDR: cup-to-disc ratio (by fundoscopy and/or ONH photography); y: years; mm Hg: millimetre of mercury; MD: mean deviation; dB: decibel; SD: standard deviation; CL: confidence level.
