The study of 200,000 men conducted by the University of British Columbia, reportedly found that using erectile disfunction drugs such as Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and Stendra can more than “double” risks of conditions that can lead to blindness.

For men who take viagra, a new study emerged this week that they will likely want to take a look at. It almost sounds like a joke you might have heard back in high school, but a study this week that says using Viagra can make a person go blind is no joke at all.

As for the why of it all, speculation is that while the medications improve blood flow in key parts of the body, they can also “hinder blood flow” in other parts of the body, such as the eyes. Per Gizmodo, the authors of the study have suggested that the findings could highlight a need for “added warning labels” for the medications. The report said that, at least since 2005, it has been known that the drugs can have effects on the eyes, and that back then a warning label about the drugs’ association with ischemic optic neuropathy, which can cause permanent vision loss, was added to packaging.
