Summary
A study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology found that long-term use of tadalafil, a drug for erectile dysfunction and enlarged prostate, may increase the risk of glaucoma. Researchers analyzed health records of nearly 74,000 men and found that tadalafil users were 22% more likely to develop glaucoma than non-users. They were also more likely to develop high eye pressure and primary open-angle glaucoma. The study was observational and did not prove causation. Experts advised patients to have regular eye exams, especially those with risk factors.
