The Pill Linked to Higher Risk of Glaucoma

Women who take the contraceptive pill for more than three years are twice as likely to suffer from glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, a study has found.

The contraceptive pill has previously been linked to a host of eye conditions, with some studies suggesting oestrogen could play a role in the development of glaucoma.
