A new study reveals aspirin use, and vision loss go hand-in-hand. The regular use of aspirin is linked to an increased risk of vision loss with aging. About 19% of adults in the United States reported using aspirin on a regular basis.

Many of the people using aspirin regularly have reported they use aspirin for prolonging heart benefits, and continue to use more aspirin as they age. Although aspirin has been known to prevent heart attacks, and other cardiovascular problems, recent studies suggest that long-term aspirin use is associated with adverse side-effects.
