Insufficient sleep not only leads to depression and the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, but can also cause eye problems, according to US researchers.
Ophthalmologists from the University of Mayo found that sleep disturbance is the cause of serious eye diseases.
First of all, because of lack of sleep, there is discomfort in the eyes and the clarity of the image is lost. If these symptoms become chronic, then serious diseases such as glaucoma.
According to experts, if a person gets insufficient sleep - this can also lead to ischemic optic neuropathy. In this case, the eye nerve is affected and a sudden loss of vision occurs, often in one eye. The edema of the optic nerve also occurs, as a result of which vision deteriorates sharply.
