• SLE is associated with an increased risk of glaucoma (OR = 2.85, 95% CI: 1.26–6.47, P = 0.01).
• Stronger associations were found in studies with fewer covariate adjustments and those not adjusting for corticosteroid use.

Interpretation:

Limitations:

• The study's findings are based on existing literature, which may have biases.
• More prospective studies with rigorous design and full control of confounding factors are needed.
