Glaucoma is a multifactorial progressive and degenerative optic neuropathy representing one of the world’s leading cause of irreversible blindness. Currently, reduction of intraocular pressure remains the only universally approved therapy, yet a wealth of studies has identified significant vascular contributions to the disease process in certain individuals. Population-based studies have identified important racial disparities and differential risk factors in glaucoma prevalence, incidence, and progression. A more significant vascular component has been identified in persons of African descent. Elucidating risk modifiers, including genetic and racial influence, is important when considering individually tailored clinical management of glaucoma. The application of artificial intelligence and mathematical modeling inclusive of demographic considerations, vascular health, and clinical biomarkers may help reduce disease disparities, advance personalized medicine, and provide a comprehensive model of glaucoma.
