A study released today links daily use of the erectile‑dysfunction drug Cialis to a higher risk of glaucoma, a form of vision loss. ScienceDaily reported the findings, noting that researchers examined five years of medical records from men prescribed Cialis for prostate symptoms and found a statistically notable increase in glaucoma diagnoses compared with peers not using the drug.
The authors caution that the association does not establish causation and that further research is needed to determine dosage thresholds or patient‑specific factors.
