High Caffeine Consumption May Increase Risk of Glaucoma |
 |
Back in 2018, VMAIL Weekend took a deep dive into how ECPs could educate patients on how to eat healthier and take care of their eyes at the same time. Linda Hardy, LDO, a contributor to 20/20’s Pro to Pro, said, “It is well known that exercising and discontinuing bad habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol will help us live a healthier life.
