A recent study published in Ophthalmology has found that electronic cigarette (e-cig) users face a significantly higher risk of developing uveitis, a serious inflammatory eye condition.
Key Findings:
๐๏ธ E-cig users had 2.5 times higher risk of uveitis compared to non-users.
๐๏ธ The risk was consistent across all age groups and was even higher than that of traditional cigarette users.
๐๏ธ Researchers used data from over 419,000 e-cig users in a large global health database.
Implications:
Clinicians should be aware of this risk when treating patients with a history of vaping. Early detection is crucial to prevent potential vision complications.
