- Abstract
Caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea are common sources of caffeine for many people worldwide. The consumption of caffeinated drinks has been associated with various effects on human health, including changes in eye pressure. The effect of caffeine on intraocular pressure (IOP) has been a topic of interest in recent years due to the potential link between increased IOP and the development of glaucoma. Recent studies have examined the relationship between caffeine intake and IOP, with varying results. Some studies have found that caffeine intake may increase IOP, particularly in individuals who are already at elevated risk for glaucoma. The mechanisms behind the potential effects of caffeine on IOP are not well understood but may involve changes in blood flow to the eye or alterations in the production and drainage of aqueous humor (the fluid that fills the eye). Some studies have suggested that caffeine having beverages may affect the autonomic nervous system, which plays a role in regulating IOP. The relationship between caffeine intake and IOP is complex and multifactorial. While moderate caffeine intake may not have a significant effect on IOP, individuals who are at elevated risk for glaucoma may face some eye issues. As with any dietary choice, it is important to consider the potential effects of caffeinated drinks on overall health and to consume them in moderation.
