Caffeine . glaucoma: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html http://www.iovs.org/content/53/10/6427.abstract http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/768418 The articles indicate there may be relationship between increased intraocular pressure and high caffeine consumption. Would discuss the findings with your ophthalmologist . Note caffeine is in sodas, energy drinks also, the less the better
