On the contrary, there are some toxic substance in the drinks or hormones which could give rise to some side effects in the long run, including some problems in relation to your eyes.

  Yes, you may get the eye problems because of the energy drinks. The alcohol material will stimulate the eye nerves which will make the eyes feel blurry when seeing things. At the same time, you may get the black eyes after you drink and you don't know what has happened. In a word, the alcohol is such a bad thing for the eyes and the body.
