As glaucoma management ranges from long\u2010term medical therapy to laser\/surgical intervention, it remains uncertain whether treatment modality influences long\u2010term systemic outcomes such as dementia.

The primary outcome was all\u2010cause dementia; secondary outcomes included Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and visual loss. Subgroup analyses examined surgical timing, modality, age, sex, and comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After 1:1 propensity score matching, 51,923 patients were included in each cohort (mean age 64\u00a0years; 55.3% female). Glaucoma surgery was associated with reduced risks of all\u2010cause dementia (HR 0.81) and vascular dementia (HR 0.53), a non\u2010significant reduction in Alzheimer's disease (HR 0.87), and a higher risk of visual loss (HR 1.52), consistent with more advanced disease among surgical candidates. Associations were stronger with late surgery, traditional incisional procedures, younger age, and absence of comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients who underwent glaucoma surgery were associated with a lower subsequent risk of all\u2010cause dementia and vascular dementia, with a non\u2010significant trend for Alzheimer's disease, compared with those receiving medical therapy. These findings suggest that surgical management is associated with more favourable long\u2010term cognitive outcomes beyond ocular benefits, which may provide additional context for
