A new study has just come out suggesting that regular caffeine consumption is linked with vision loss, from glaucoma. It looks like three cups of coffee a day is the threshold for increased problems.
In a paper published on October 3, 2012 The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Inc. (ARVO) has reported: "New study links caffeinated coffee to vision loss." A new study has suggested caffeinated coffee drinkers should limit their intake in order to reduce their chances of developing vision loss or blindness. Heavy caffeinated coffee consumption has been found to be associated with an increased risk of developing exfoliation glaucoma, which is the leading cause of secondary glaucoma worldwide, according to a scientific paper which has been published in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science.
