New research, published in the journal Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, has reported on the relationship between coffee consumption and exfoliation glaucoma (EG) or glaucoma suspect (EGS).

The results suggest that heavier caffeinated coffee consumption was associated with increased risk of EG/EGS
