Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is no longer considered an isolated eye pressure-dependent optic neuropathy, but a neurodegenerative disease in which oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are prominent. These processes may be exacerbated by additional systemic diseases. The most common are arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. Using diabetes mellitus as an example, it will be shown how far-reaching the influence of such a systemic disease can be on both the functional and the structural diagnostic methods for POAG. This knowledge is essential, since these interferences can lead to misinterpretations of POAG, which can also affect therapeutic decisions.
