Retrobulbar blood flow and visual field alterations after acute ethanol ingestion

Association Between Alcohol Consumption Patterns and Glaucoma in Japan

“…Generally, IOP fluctuations affect the incidence and progression of glaucoma 58–61 . IOP has been reported to decrease immediately after alcohol consumption 62 . Hence, IOP fluctuations due to frequent alcohol consumption may lead to a high prevalence of glaucoma.…”

Associations of smoking and alcohol consumption with the development of open angle glaucoma: a retrospective cohort study

“…It is possible that both influence the blood perfusion to the optic nerve head. Alcohol can result in a significant increase in retrobulbar and optic nerve head blood flow16 43 and retinal artery diameter,44 but does not appear to have an effect on ocular perfusion pressure 16 44. Alcohol consumption has been found to be positively associated with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which are known to be positively associated with IOP 45 46.…”

Visual Impairment Risk After Alcohol Abstinence in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Open-Angle Glaucoma

“…Despite the predominantly harmful health associations, alcohol exhibits a J-shaped association with certain cardiovascular outcomes, with a protective effect having been observed at low intake levels. 4 Alcohol's short-term effects on the human eye include a transient and seemingly dosedependent reduction in IOP as well as increased blood flow to the optic nerve head, [31][32][33][34] conferring, at least theoretically, a protective effect against glaucomatous damage. However, in the current study, even mild intake (<105 g/wk) had an association with worse visual outcome.…”
