Sometimes this response is most pronounced when one drinks a glass of whole milk just before bedtime to treat heartburn and induce sleep, as ritual and old wives' tales have suggested. Whole milk and dairy products may worsen acid reflux of GERD because of the fat contained in those food products.
Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to your eye's optic nerve and gets worse over time. It's often linked to a buildup of pressure inside your eye. Glaucoma tends to be inherited and may not show up until later in life.
The increased pressure, called intraocular pressure, can damage the optic nerve, which transmits images to your brain. If the damage continues, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss. Without treatment, glaucoma can cause total permanent blindness within a few years. Most people with glaucoma have no early symptoms or pain.
