Abstract
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common entrapment neuropathy involving chronic inflammation, while glaucoma is an optic neuropathy linked to neuroinflammation and vascular insufficiency. Shared pathogenic mechanisms have been hypothesized, but large-scale epidemiologic evidence is lacking. This study aims to evaluate whether CTS patients present an elevated risk of glaucoma compared to CTS-free individuals.
