New research signals that undiagnosed Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance may play a role in the development of glaucoma, a slowly progressing eye disease that damages the eyes optic nerve and can cause blindness sometimes due to hypoperfusion or inadequate circulation.
Gluten is known to cause hypoperfusion in the brain, which could concurrently affect eye vessels and contribute to eye disease. Food sensitivities in general can also affect eye health.
