To examine retinal vasculometry associations with different glaucomas in older British people. Cross-sectional study. A total of 8,623 European Prospective Investigation into Cancer-Norfolk Eye study participants were examined, who underwent retinal imaging, ocular biometry assessment, and clinical ascertainment of ocular hypertensive or glaucoma status (including glaucoma suspect [GS], high-tension open-angle glaucoma [HTG], and normal-tension glaucoma [NTG]). Automated measures of arteriolar and venular tortuosity, area, and width from retinal images were obtained. MainOutcomeMeasures: Associations between glaucoma and retinal vasculometry outcomes were analyzed using multilevel linear regression, adjusted for age, sex, height, axial length, intraocular and systemic blood pressure, and within-person clustering, to provide absolute differences in width and area, and percentage differences in vessel tortuosity. Presence or absence of within-person-between-eye differences in retinal vasculometry by diagnoses were examined. A total of 565,593 vessel segments from 5,947 participants (mean age 67.6 years, SD 7.6 years, 57% women) were included; numbers with HTG, NTG, and GS in at least 1 eye were 87, 82, and 439, respectively. Thinner arterioles (−3.2 μm; 95% confidence interval [CI] −4.4 μm, −1.9 μm) and venules (−2.7 μm; 95% CI −4.9 μm, −0.5 μm) were associated with HTG. Reduced venular area was associated with HTG (−0.2 mm2; 95% CI −0.3 mm2, −0.1 mm2) and NTG (−0.2 mm2; 95% CI −0.3 mm2, −0.0 mm2). Less tortuous retinal arterioles and venules were associated with all glaucomas, but only significantly for GS (−3.9%; 95% CI −7.7%, −0.1% and −4.8%; 95% CI −7.4%, −2.1%, respectively). There was no evidence of within-person-between-eye differences in retinal vasculometry associations by diagnoses. Retinal vessel width associations with glaucoma and novel associations with vessel area and tortuosity, together with no evidence of within-person-between-eye differences in retinal vasculometry, suggest a vascular cause of glaucoma. Retinal vessel measurements, including (as a first report) vessel tortuosity and area, were associated with high-tension glaucoma and other glaucoma-related outcomes. Novel analyses showing that within-person-between-eye glaucoma diagnoses, intraocular pressure, and retinal vasculometry were uncorrelated provides further evidence that systemic microvascular changes may cause glaucoma.
