Is there any relationship between obesity and glaucoma?

Yes, there is a relationship between obesity and glaucoma. Studies have shown that obesity can increase the risk of developing glaucoma, particularly primary open-angle glaucoma, due to factors like increased intraocular pressure and systemic inflammation. Additionally, obesity-related conditions such as Diabetes and hypertension can further exacerbate the risk. Maintaining a healthy weight may help reduce the likelihood of developing glaucoma and other related eye conditions.
