    Drinking too much coffee will lead to your high eye pressure because of the caffeine. The caffeine is a kind of yellow purine alkaloid compound which is a central nervous system stimulant. It can temporarily drive away sleepiness and restore energy. The caffeine composition, coffee tea, soft drinks and energy drinks are very popular. But caffeine is the most commonly used psychotropic drugs in North America. 90% of adults use caffeine every day. A lot of caffeine natural source also contain a variety of other yellow purine alkaloid, including cardiac theophylline, theobromine and other material such as tannin. When you drink caffeine, you will feel so refresh at the spirit. Your eyes nerves will also be stimulated at the same time which will work in great effective way.

    I am afraid that drinking too much coffee can lead to high eye pressure for coffee are rich in caffeine which is a main eye killer, causing to happen high eye pressure and even glaucoma. It has been proved that too much consumption of caffeine can result in unbalance of fluids in the eye till high eye pressure. What's worse, over-consumption of coffee will likewise reduce the flow of blood through the blood vessels at the back of the eye. If this is left ignored, permanent eye damage will follow. My opinion is that an moderate amount of coffee is not harmful to the eye and do not drink too much beverage containing caffeine.

    Caffeine may cause pressures to spike, and if you have a risk for glaucoma, talk with your doctor about the effects of caffeine on your eyes is the first thing that you must do. It is also the cause of high eye pressure. If high pressures reduce the amount of blood to your optic nerve, the blood your nerve needs for nourishment and function, you may have optic nerve damage.
