14 DAY TRIAL // Investigations carried out by researchers in Taiwan indicate that there is a link between snoring and loss of eyesight. More precisely, it appears that, the louder a person snores, the more likely they are to end up suffering from poor vision.
And no, this doesn't happen because they get punched in the face by their loved one more often than non-snorers are.
The scientists theorize that, in the case of people suffering with sleep apnea, it often happens that the collapsing of the tissue of the throat muscles is accompanied by a reduced flow of oxygen to the eyes.
They say that this is probably the reason why sleep apnea sufferers are 1.67 times more likely to develop glaucoma than people not diagnosed with this condition are, sources say.
The researchers wish to conduct further investigations and determine if their assumptions are true to facts.
