New Study Links Caffeinated Coffee To Vision Loss

For 80k women, there were a total 360 cases (.45%).

The increase was higher for women in families who already had a history of glaucoma.

The link was specific to caffeinated coffee and wasn't found for other products (Tea, Chocolate, decaffeinated coffee)

There was a tiny statistically significant increase compared to abstainers.

I.e. take those 360 cases, and say there were 160 cases among abstainers and 200 cases among caffeinated coffee drinkers. So the actual increased number of cases due to drinking caffeinated coffee in the population of 80k women may have been something like.05%. This is a rough swag. The actual increase was:
"increased risk of EG/EGS (RR = 1.66; 95% CI, 1.09?"2.54; P trend = 0.02)"

So give up a lifetime of drinking coffee, the other benefits of drinking coffee in return for reducing your risk of Glaucoma very very slightly.
