People who take statins to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease are less likely to be diagnosed with the most common form of glaucoma, according to a U.S. nationwide study of more than 300,000 patients. Scientists found the risk for glaucoma was reduced by eight percent in patients who took statins continuously for two years, compared with patients who did not take statins.
