Two cohorts were created from newly diagnosed POAG or nAMD patients. Within each cohort, an exposure cohort was created of newly diagnosed dementia patients. The primary outcome was the number of visits to an eye care provider. Secondary analyses for the POAG cohort assessed the number of visual field tests, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and glaucoma medication prescription coverage. The secondary analysis for the nAMD cohort included the number of injections performed. Poisson regression was used to determine the relative rates of outcomes.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>POAG patients with dementia had reduced rates of eye care visits (RR 0.76, 95% CI: 0.75\u20130.77), lower rates of testing utilization for visual fields (RR 0.66, 95% CI: 0.63\u20130.68) and OCT (RR 0.67, 95% CI: 0.64\u20130.69), and a lower rate of glaucoma prescription medication coverage (RR 0.83, 95% CI: 0.83\u20130.83). nAMD patients with dementia had reduced rates of eye care visits (RR 0.74, 95% CI: 0.70\u20130.79) and received fewer intravitreal injections (RR 0.64, 95% CI: 0.58\u20130.69) than those without dementia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>POAG and nAMD patients with dementia obtained less eye care and less monitoring and treatment of their disease.
