abstract = {Glaucoma can have profound consequences on vision. Although diabetes and hypertension have been suggested as risk factors for glaucoma, their relevance in epidemiological studies remains controversial. Accordingly, we investigated whether diabetes and hypertension, as well as factors such as age and sex, affected the risk of glaucoma. From May 30, 2022, to June 24, 2022, 1152 patients were selected from a national hospital (Seoul, Korea) to analyze the association among visual field test results, diabetes, and hypertension. Patients who visited the hospital for glaucoma treatment or those referred for glaucoma were randomly selected. The mean deviation value, obtained from visual field test results, is an index of the overall change in the visual field. Based on the mean deviation value, patients with glaucoma were classified into early- (-6},
