And now, a new study1 suggests that living in a polluted area is associated with a higher likelihood of developing glaucoma, a group of conditions that damage the optic nerve, which is essential for healthy vision. When the results of the glaucoma tests were compared to the fine participate matter levels in the area, there was a strong link.

Make some room in your hair care collection: This nourishing oil is worth a spot.
