Glaucoma Natural Treatment

By rjoachim | May 17, 2024
Glaucoma is a serious condition that requires medical attention. There is no known cure and no scientifically proven natural treatment for glaucoma. However, there are some lifestyle changes and complementary therapies that may be helpful alongside prescribed medications or eye drops:
Healthy diet: Eating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce eye pressure and improve overall health.
Exercise: Regular exercise can help improve blood flow to the eyes and may lower eye pressure.
Stress management: Chronic stress can worsen glaucoma symptoms. Relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga may be helpful.
Certain vitamins and minerals: Some studies suggest that certain vitamins and minerals, such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin E, may help protect the optic nerve from damage. However, more research is needed.

Important: It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new supplements or making significant dietary changes, as they may interfere with your current glaucoma medications.
