How Hydrogen-Rich Water Affects Eye Pressure in Healthy Individuals
A recent study found that drinking hydrogen-rich water can lower intraocular pressure in healthy individuals, which could potentially lower the risk of glaucoma. The study's findings suggest that hydrogen-rich water could be a useful addition to a healthy lifestyle. More research is needed to confirm the long-term effects of hydrogen-rich water on eye health.

Results
Conclusion: The rapid intake of 1260 ml of both HRW and hydrogen-free water causes a statistically significant increase in IOP compared to the baseline in healthy individuals. In the case of HRW, the increase was also clinically significant in most of the subjects. Thus, the results indicate that acute intake of HRW may pose a higher risk than placebo intake in terms of IOP. However, in the case of risk groups such as subjects with glaucoma, ocular hypertension or suspected glaucoma, it is necessary to verify this conclusion by further studies.
