The prolactin that is required for lactation, which is produced by the pituitary gland, can cause it to become enlarged which exerts pressure on the optic nerves which is how the vision impairment is caused. Because genetic males don't have a reliable way to gauge how much prolactin is being produced, or induced into production by their herbal/other program, there is the highly increased risk.
I'm sorry for dumbing things down in my original post. I'll make sure to reference full medical publication excerpts in my posts in the future.
Fenugreek stimulates the production of prolactin, just in case you didn't already know, as well as having progesterone and phytoestrogens. Which readily explains why some males that take a measured dose of the seeds on a daily basis begin lactation. Granted their production isn't enormous, a few drops or a teaspoon, without further stimulation.
Fun fact about prolactin: it is one of the hormones responsible for the development of breasts.
