Birth Control and Glaucoma

Just recently, people started to study about the birth control pills.  Here, they found out that over a long-term period of taking birth control pills, it could link to possible glaucoma- the leading cause of blindness. The study was determined to affect women who are over the age 40.  They did this study on 3,000 women who did a couple tests, including an eye exam that showed that women who took birth control pills for over 3 years doubled their risk of Glaucoma. How would you react to this?  If you are currently on birth control pills, do you think this could affect you in a way?  Share your thoughts at your own risk!
