According to sources Glaucoma refers to a group of diseases where fluid builds up in the eye, creating pressure that damages the optic nerve. It's a leading cause of blindness in older adults, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO).
Meanwhile some people face a higher risk than others and the study says they include blacks, people with a family history of glaucoma, and people with high blood pressure, diabetes or other conditions that affect blood circulation.
Some studies have suggested that people who drink a lot of coffee have a
heightened glaucoma risk. Others have hinted that caffeine can temporarily
boost pressure within the eye. Moreover on the other hand, some studies have
failed to find a coffee glaucoma link. Her team decided to see whether there is
any connection between glaucoma and not only coffee, but tea or soda
caffeinated or not.
