Researchers in Taiwan found that men taking tadalafil were 22 per cent more likely to develop glaucoma and 33 per cent more likely to develop primary open angle glaucoma. The study, published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, suggests that long-term users of tadalafil should have their eye health monitored, particularly those with pre-existing conditions or a family history of glaucoma. Tadalafil, which also treats enlarged prostate symptoms, works by relaxing muscles and increasing blood flow but has previously been associated with various eye health issues. While the observational study does not establish a direct cause-and-effect, experts stress the importance of regular eye tests as glaucoma often develops without symptoms.
