Vaping poses unexpected risks to eye health, study finds

A study in the Journal of Clinical Medicine links E-cigarette use to unintended and intended ocular surface exposures. The research highlights the increasing global use of E-cigarettes and their potential harm on eye components. An analysis of 18 studies reveals consequences such as corneal injury, tear film disruption, and dry eye symptoms. Chronic exposure may lead to ocular malignancies and alterations in tear production and meibomian gland loss. The study emphasizes the critical need for further research on the long-term effects of E-cigarette use on ocular health.
