A total of 9682 patients with SLE were identified using ICD-10 code M32 and rare intractable disease code V136 and matched 1:1 to non-SLE controls by age and sex. The incidence of glaucoma (ICD-10 codes H40 and H42) and glaucoma suspect (H40.0) was assessed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for glaucoma, including long-term corticosteroid use (\u2265180 days).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The incidence of glaucoma was significantly higher in the SLE group than in controls (11.34% vs 3.74%; p&lt;0.0001), with a greater prevalence in younger patients (&lt;40 years) and females. Glaucoma suspect cases were also more common in the SLE group (35.56% vs 30.25%; p&lt;0.0001). SLE was independently associated with glaucoma (adjusted OR: 2.00, 95%\u2009CI 1.69 to 2.38), and prolonged corticosteroid use further increased the risk (OR: 1.75, 95%\u2009CI 1.51 to 2.02). Annual incidence trends showed a rising pattern over time, especially among SLE patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SLE is associated with an increased risk of glaucoma, particularly among younger individuals and females.
