What effect does Amphetamine have on GLAUCOMA?

I have Glaucoma (not narrow-angle), and have been diagnosed as having ADD ... although my doctor was going to prescribe me Adderall, she decided against it when she saw that I had Glaucoma (contraindication?) What exactly does amphetamine/any CNS stimulant do to Glaucoma??
