Although numbers of studies have addressed this question, the relationship between diabetes mellitus and primary open-angle glaucoma is still unclear. This article discusses progress in understanding the complex relationship between these 2 entities and recent shifts in perspective that challenge the traditional dogma regarding diabetes mellitus and primary open-angle glaucoma. There are still many unanswered questions.
