Does Taking Phentermine With History Of Glaucoma Causes Blindness?

I have a history of glaucoma; I noticed it said not to take phentermine because of that; what is the problem with it? I keep my eye pressure down to 20/19 with herbals. Will phentermine raise it? Cause blindness? A more rapid increase in eye pressure?? thanks.
