Could Intake Of Huge Amount Of Energy Drinks Cause Deterioration Of Vision?

My brother drinks at least 3ltrs of emerge (energy drink) each day and has recently started complaining about his vision deteriorating, by this i mean he is struggling to see objects which are at a distance along with it being blurry more than normal. I was just wondering if this could be due to the amount of energy drinks he is drinking and the amount of caffeine he is consuming on a regular day to day basis?

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Yes, there is a clear correlation between caffeinated drinks (cola, coffee, tea, energy drinks) and eyesight problems.

Caffeine increses risks of developing Exfoliation Glaucoma in which pressure builds up due to fluids accumulation and affects the optic nerve and destroys vision.

Intraocular pressure increases inside the eye causing vision problems.

It also leads to cardiac problems, blood pressure and kidney function issues and may also lead to obesity and early diabetes development.

I recommend gradually curb the energy drinks.
