I wish I had found natural glaucoma videos like this years ago, when I was first discovered that I had high eye pressure, which has been consistently 27/28 in the last 4 years. When I asked my ophthalmologist about natural ways to lower IOP such as supplements, his answer was that only eye drops are proven to help. After recently discovering videos like this, I have been doing eye massages everyday for the last 2 weeks, in addition to taking the Amazing Grass superfood powder, and wild salmon fish oil. I also used pycnogenol and billberry. I have also been walking more briskly lately for exercise, and intermittent fasting for the last 6 months. I had my eyes checked again yesterday, and to my amazement and the surprise of the assistant, my eye pressure went down to left 20 / right 23! I feel like a combination of things are working, not knowing which is most effective, and I will continue to do them. Intuitively, I feel like the eye massages helped a lot, where at least the eyes feel more relaxed afterward. I incorporated different massage and acupressure videos for glaucoma that I found on UA-cam. I hope this helps. God bless!
I'm 76 years old who has a Gloucoma since 1998, I used Xalacom with Timolol since then. my eye pressure is good , I'm still using this eye drops until now and where I was diagnose of Gloucoma prescribed when I was working in Hongkong in 1998. Thank you so much for sharing more additional food supplement to prevent high pressure. Have a blessed Sunday to you All.
My meditation is prayer day and night❤ Thank you doc so much for this video it’s a big help especially to those people who were diagnosed with borderline glaucoma like me. I will remind myself to follow your good advice! Thank you doc again! Glory to God!❤😇
I just had my eye exam this past week. I have excellent blood pressure. Always have. This year, I opted for more extensive exam for my optic nerves.. my doctor noticed that my right eye has a lot more pressure than it should for some reason. She told me to not worry about it. that she will compare with next year. Hell no! I asked her what I can do. She said there is no way to really prevent glaucoma. She told me there was really nothing I can do except for take an exam in six months and then another one so that she can compare them all. I said that would make it a full year of not doing diddly squat. Now I am watching your video and I see that there is plenty that I can do. I honestly don’t understand why more. Doctors are not this helpful. It’s sad. I’m a little bit pissed off. She gave me no other options. Except for getting another exam in six months. I see now that I have plenty of things that I can do just by following any or all of these suggestions. Thank you.
@@Learner-lq3vu absolutely! I’ve been tested 3 times since I was diagnosed ( and requested repeated testing … which was provided) Actually, this very day I was tested again and zero glaucoma was detected. Zero. My first optometrist just told me I had it in one eye and nothing could be done but monitoring it every 6 months. I became very despondent until I did my own research and followed the most reliable sources such as this to address and heal my eye.. I pray you have the same healing experience.
@@Realalma actually I am on the same boat as you. My eye doctor recently tested my eye with oct report and they are saying that you have early glaucoma in both eye. I was shocked to hear that I am myopic patient with -2.00 in right eye and -1.75 in left eye. I dont have any family history of glaucoma. They even gave me lumigen eye drop. Currently I am not using it. I want it to be confirmed by another ophthalmologist. I cant tell you all day I am thinking about this glaucoma thing my life became hell. I hope I dont have this thing.
I’ve been sleeping in a high back chair for six months. My sleep is deeper and longer. I wake up with more rested and relaxed eyes…and my sinuses (both nostrils) are open. Doing breathing exercises before sleep (in the high back chair) appears to greatly increase my sleep. FYI, sleeping in a high back chair was recommended after a glaucoma and cataract treatment was performed.
It’s so ironic that I just saw a TikTok video with a lady saying you have to clear the mucus from your sinuses to assist with relieving the pressure in the eyes. People trashed her in the comments. My mother was diagnosed. I’ve been trying to find natural remedies for hours
Doc, I’m an OD in Massachusetts and really enjoy your podcasts. Really great tips for how to communicate complex topics to patients. You are a very talented young man.
I just had my eyes checked and dental cleaning but still nothing beats year round preventive habits to maintain our health and organs! Thank you! really enjoy your vlogs. Sometimes I just close my eyes and listen like a podcast. 😃
Great video! I'm glad you're one of the eye doctors that recommends helping eye issues in ways that are natural, including diet, exercise and natural herbs. So many people in the medical community are still sold on the, "Here's a pill. Take this, and go." You're looking at healing at the root. You deserve major props for it! Please keep it up.
Do you know my doctor Haha.....That's what he says every time I mention that I would like other options to get off the medication...His response....you will be on meds for the rest of your life.
I am 69yrs old and was diagnosed 10yrs ago and thanx for the good tips you just shared. Q: 1.Do you get too sensitive to the sun due to Glaucoma, 2.what vitamins do you recommend to a person with Glaucoma. 3.Does your glaucoma get worse if you are a Thyroid patient?
Excellent! Thank-you! So appreciate an insightful, open-minded discussion about studies that support a more natural approach to prevention and treatment, in conjunction with traditional practices. Be well.
The last few weeks I experienced blurriness on my right eye, I’ve been seeing an ophthalmologist finally few days ago they ran a vision field test,!! I’ve been so stressed regarding the blurriness on my eye!! I’ve been so stressed regarding the blurriness on my eye!!!Thank you for taking the time to educate us!
Is the blurriness from the stress or something else? I had really blurry eyes onset after worrying about my vision. Went to eye doctor. Have contacts on and glasses on the way. PLUS going to glaucoma specialist likely narrow angle like my mom and sister but we will see. Doc said the blurriness wasn’t from my glaucoma so likely hyper focused and freaking out what is wrong with eyes. Maybe anxiety and panic attacks. If so don’t feel alone and breath lightly and evenly and r-e-l-a-x until you see your doctor.
Dr. Allen, thanks for sharing all the best topics & information about Eye issues & benefits on your UA-cam channel! the norm of visiting doctors today is either virtual or, at the office for a very limited time! Doctors don’t have time to explain the situation to their patients. They think writing a prescription is all the patients want !! That is so sad. Thanks to the internet & thanks to you & other sources of information we can educate ourselves.
Thank you for sharing. I just came from an optometrist appt in which I learned I had very high eye pressure. The Dr said there aren't any ways to reverse it and basically glaucoma is inevitable- meaning there's not much I could do to prevent further degeneration but I refuse to believe there's nothing that can be done. Btw I know the very act of seeking this info out is confirmation bias but this is objectively solid information. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the information. I’m being treated for glaucoma in my left eye, but my right eye has too much trauma in it, since I had surgeries on my right eye over the years and can’t have the laser treatment. The right eye has has a thicker cornea,I guess because of the trauma, but my surgeon feels that because it wasn’t thick at birth, it doesn’t have the benefit that usually thicker corneas have. Is this true, or is it possible that I still have the benefit of a thicker cornea, even though it was due to trauma. Thank you so much for your time. Peter. (I also heard about non-drug hydrogel. Is there anything to this?)
I’m sorry, Dr., I just had one more question. If you don’t mind, my surgeon feels reluctant to do Migs on my right eye, should I need treatment, because of potential risk. I’m too afraid of the medication. Is Migs surgery? Very risky? Thanks, Peter. (Loved your video.)
Had an Optic Neuritis three years and was DV'd with NAION. Now three years later told that I have Narrow Angle Glaucoma, treating it with a laser treatment in my good eye and then have to go through a cataract surgery on the good eye to prevent blindness. This has been a crazy life altering condition, was told that this is hereditary. Thoughts....I eat right, no high pressure readings but told that I have small eye structures. Thank You
Im 64 and glaucoma suspect (hereditary). All I do is annual screening. Beginning to see flashes of light. Thanks very much for insightful eye opening engagement. Seeing my opthalmologist soon, this time, with wealth of info from your video. Thanks ever so much.🎉
Thank you, Doctor! It's so good to have a professional telling us how to do things naturally. You + Doctor Allen Mandell have helped me so much more than any local doctor anywhere I've ever lived has. In a serious way, I mean it. Bless you!!
Thank God i was looking for natural encounter for my eye but thank you i love your knowledge and graceful with it God bless you continue to teaches us to move form fear to the reality of life
At 62 I have Glaucoma and did the Lazer treatment. Unfortunately from time to time I have a sever eye pressure . And nothing has helped my dry eyes. Thank you for this insightful video ❤
He is young,honest and well informed.l love your honesty.I have cataracts in both eyes and my doctor is concerned about glacoma also.Thanks for your help
Thank you Doc, watching from Cebu City, Philippines. Had gkaucoma for the past 26 yrrs. Had surgery on both eyes.Can still see but blurry due to cataract, too.
I just returned from a health fair. That consists of an event offered to the local community and exposes them to various doctors from dentists, eye doctors, and other health specialists doctors all in one event, place at the same time. I have been having dry eye problems and so was diagnosed with glaucoma.
Hello from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I’m 76 and had a partial retina detachment 10 years ago. Fortunate for me my eye doctor called me after leaving him a message after business hours. I thought it was just a floater but he Insisted I see him the next day (Saturday). Sent me to a eye surgeon and it saved my eye sight. Developed glaucoma several years later. Currently using drops and regular eye exams. Thank you for all the information on ways I can help my eyes naturally. Also your medical explanations have helped me understand so much about my eyes. What is your opinion on having a small glass of wine with a meal ?
I have had glaucoma since I was 33 years old. My dad went blind to it and his mom had it as well. I have been on drops (Lumigan) for 20 years but insurance will no longer cover it. I still have a bunch of drops left, so when I am done, I will go on another type of drop. Hopefully it will keep my pressure down. Thanks for all of the great information!!
My paternal grandpa had glaucoma & lost his vision & had one eye enucleated. My father also had glaucoma, but lost no vision. He had laser treatments. My spouse was diagnosed with glaucoma at age 40 & lost no vision for 40 years. I visit my eye doctor annually and do not have glaucoma. Thankfully. My siblings & daughter go each year to eye doctor, too.
Hi Susan Glad, ur father and spouse saved from glaucoma can My son age 25 just disgnosed glaucoma and had laser treatment 2 weeks back, what I understand fm ur message ur father and spouse are perfectly alright by tje grace of god cannyou plz advise if they have stopped taking drops and their eye sights are 100 pct alright also advise fm which country you belongs to Have a nice and Happy future
Not only do I have to eat healthy for glaucoma, but I have a syndrome called polycystic ovary syndrome. In order to treat it, I have to adapt a healthy lifestyle to improve the symptoms like my insulin level and blood pressure and keep my glucose low and other things in my blood.
Hey I appreciate that! It is very time and energy consuming. But It makes me feel good to share my knowledge. It also helps push me professionally and I feel I am a better doctor because of it.
Hello Doc, I'm 85 and I've been treated for Glaucoma for 12 years. I'm American, originally from New York and now I live in Antalya, Turkey on the Mediterranean Coast. I just wanted to say Hi from afar. Regards, David Silverman
@@DoctorEyeHealthmy dad was diagnosed of glaucoma 2 years ago (final stage of glaucoma) and was placed on eye drops. But instead of being effective it's getting worse.
Checking in on the replay from CA. I’ve had ocular hypertension for many years and I’ve been watched as a suspect with no active glaucoma. Being monitored and tested regularly with my ophthalmologist. So I’m interested in things that can help lower eye pressures.
Overall eye health is important. While I have glaucoma, it has not deteriorated in about a decade since when an eye doctor told me that a Bausch and Lomb pill will halt macular degeneration (not reverse already existing damage; mother had that). Since then, and for about a decade, I've been taking Bausch & Lomb PreserVision AREDS 2 with Multi vitamin and have not needed new eyeglasses either and I'm 72. Not any kind of medical pro, but I would personally recommend anyone/everyone discussing those pills with their own eye doctor to see if they're a good idea for you. Protecting your eyes from glare is important, too.
My mom is 46 years old ...she is suffering with glaucoma from some years ...she had done laser treatment but after 3years it turned out again ...the doctors said due to laser her nerves became weak ..now she is still suffering after that...its been 10 years
Thank you, my medicine for asthma says there is a risk of glaucoma. I have to breathe tho. Good thing you mentioned exercise can have risks. A girl I know who was competitive starting a new exercise program was going to hard. She had a hemoragic stroke and passed away from the overexertion.
I was diagnosed with traumatic glaucoma last year. Been on 3 eye drops a day and had Ahmed valve surgery to lower my pressure even more since my baseline pressure in my left eye was 50. I asked my doctor if there was any vitamins I could take to help even more but told me there wasn’t enough evidence to prove they’re effective. I’ve been doing my own research now though and on top of the vitamins you listed there’s also nicotinamide and citicoline. My pressure in my left eye was 18 last appointment. I started taking a lot of different vitamins since then and I’ll see in a few months if there’s any positive changes at my next appointment.
Thanks for putting this together. I've got to research this topic to help my father who has been told he may go blind. He's not eating well so I'm going to stay with him for a bit and be a diet fascist. Your information is going to be a help in reducing that IOP, and in my fortitude! Thank you, I'd like this twice if I could.
Hey Dr. Allen! Thank you so much for bringing such wonderfully informative videos which really help a lot! Just became curious to know if you are an hsp! You are such a pure hearted soul! 😃☺️
Wow! Thank you for asking! I actually had to look that up first to be sure what you were referencing too (medicine has too many acronyms). But yes, I am very much an HSP. it has it's pros and cons. You?
@@DoctorEyeHealth That's great! I'm so happy to have a reply from you! You are just really too way a source of happiness and positive energy for me!! ( as I'm a medical student ) Tbh I just can't stop appreciting you... 😅 Yes, I have almost all characteristics of a Highly Sensitive Person even having some additional too. 😃 Hope you stay forever young, happy and healthy!😊❤️
I'm In Pennsylvania. My pressure is high and three different surgeries have not worked. I have taken two different pills Methazolamide and Acetazolamide. What horrors. The first I took for 5 months. I had bowel issues, fatigue, couldn't leave my house until 2:00 in the afternoon, depression. A horror. My doctor said that most of his patients can tolerate it for a month, but I was on it for 5 months. Then a third unsuccessful surgery. I see a specialist at a very world renowned hospital. I also have iritis. Yep. Lucky me. So I am desperate for something that doesn't require a steroid eye drop and doesn't require surgery. The second pill isn't much better, but it has only been a week. Loose bowels that made me late to work two days in a row. I am desperate. I am listening to your message very carefully. Hoping for a miracle, which would be lowering my pressure 20-25%. Thank you. I have a little bit of hope. I have had these eye conditions since 2004 and I am now in my early 60s.
Look into urine therapy and also look into Ayurveda. There is a UA-cam video that shows a mixture of lemon juice and other herbs and it has worked for a lot of people.
I am curious , too. I started rebounding 5 years ago. I do a gentle bounce daily for about 5-10 minutes a day. Have experienced positive things but am concerned there might be some negative consequences. Anybody have concerns?
Recently diagnosed with high eye pressure. I read that high caffeine can increase it. I drink a lot. Today is the start of my life with less coffee. Let's see how it goes.
Thanks dr. This subject is very timely for me since I Have allergic reactions to a few of the eye drops and haven't found one that I can use as of yet.
Hi Good presentation I also want to know how to sleep properly to reduce IOP. I was really worried when diagnosed with glaucoma but information you shared and people shared is very useful and gives comfort .
I've heard that green smoothies can encourage kidney stones. I like to cook my kale or greens (mustard, turnip and collards) and season them with garlic powder and Better than Bullion even use a bit of Bragg's aminos before eating. Tastes good to me.
OOOh that sounds great!!!! There is some reported concerns of eating greens and the development of kidney stones but the doctors I have spoken to have told me that is rarely seen and not a concern. In fact the number one cause of kidney stones comes from people NOT eating enough vegetables and not drinking enough water. Some people don't digest oxylates well and in those cases spinach is recommended to avoid but all the other greens are still great. But as always, best to consult a local health professional if you are concerned.
I've heard supplementing with calcium helps mitigate the absorption of oxylates. Also, steaming greens helps to get rid of a significant amount of oxylates from the greens themselves.
@@ozonelayercake Check that out again from different sources. There is plenty of calcium in vegetables. Most doctors say do not supplement with calcium because too much in your system will lead to hardening of the arteries and heart attack. Get your calcium in natural form from a good amount of leafy greens every day. Also, if you do take calcium (please don’t) you need vitamin K with it to be safe.
Due to high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol, my dietician friend told me i was in line for a stroke, this was 10 years ago. Since then, I started on smoothies along with adding more salads to my diet, my BP and cholesterol have been excellent. I start everyday with 1 leaf organic kale, 1 banana, ice, water, very simple recipe, blend with the grinding blades. Later, i experimented with coconut and/or 1/4 Avocado, delicious! I've never had any stones. I believe this juice is a healer. It even makes me feel more balanced and healthy immediately after, it's crazy.
Just came across your video in my feed. Very informative for someone like myself who is in early 50's, and has been a glaucoma suspect, mainly due to family history and high eye pressure. I have been under constant monitoring by an ophthalmologist the past 15 yrs or so. He is very pleased with my strong nerves so far. Part of the monitoring includes visual field test, eye dialection and etc every 4 months or so. My question is: is it possible that I may not need any treatment or drops in my lifetime despite of family history? Thank you so much and keep up the good work!🙏
Do you take any supplements that are helping you? I was just diagnosed with high ocular pressure of 24 in both eyes. Ophthalmologist recommended latanoprost even though optic nerves look healthy. Mother has glaucoma. I am very worried, drops burn and eyes don't feel natural.😢
Thank you Doc for your presentation on natural remedies. Would you be presenting a video session on how to sleep appropriately to lower IOP? I read an article by National Foundation for Glaucoma on sleeping on your back and wearing glasses lower IOP and the glasses kept the person from applying pressure on their infected eye or eyes. Also a presentation on measurement IOP different as you stand, sit, and lie down on your spine. Thank you in advance.
Just returned from the Hospital after being told my eye pressure is high so I need to now take eyedrops on both eyes potentially for the rest of my life. Am emotional as my dear Mum had this, so she's passed it on to me (thanks Mum, but I love ya!). Am looking at natural ways to ease the pressure as well as the medicated eyedrops too of course, and guess whose video popped up first? Yep!
Greetings from Austria! This is a video I was waiting for! Stream aired at 2am so I watched this the next morning. My questions: - What about Omega 3? I read somewhere it helps protect the optical nerve ... - What about the cannabinoid CBG? Cannabis used to be "the" classic application for medical cannabis once upon a time, right? Seems contemporary sources suggest if at all it is the CBG compound that is beneficial?
Hey Thank you!!! 1. Omega 3 studies are a bit mixed when it comes to glaucoma, not many studies looking at it specifically. But it has been found to be helpful for the retina and many cases of dry eye disease. For retinal disease, it helps reduce inflammation, such as in cases of diabetic retinopathy. So the idea is sound, but I don't have any studies to recommend a certain amount to take. 2. I will have to look more into CBG specifically. The use of medical marijuana has been studies for glaucoma for over 60 years, however, the effects are reported to be rather transient and there are concerns over smoking substances and causing more damage to the body. Enough so that I have never heard of a glaucoma specialist write a prescription for medical marijuana, other treatments are just far safer and more cost effective. As far as edibles and supplements, I am not sure of studies showing the effects on IOP. But I imagine it could have some effect on reducing stress lol
Im from Malaysia, Ive just been told by my Opthalmologist I hv right eye pressure. I started use eyedrop 4x a day. Im 70 yrs old. Due to my osteoarthritis Ive not exercise much. I eat a lot of veg & fruits. I felt a uncomfortable feeling in the right eye. Im searching for info for glaucoma. Ur info is much appreciated. Thnks U so much.
I went blind in my left eye with glaucoma. If I look back I realise I should have gone for regular eye checks. In my youth I couldn’t afford to pay for eye tests and glasses. Also my doc knew I had high blood pressure because it was checked every six months when I went for my pill description but it never got treated. Eventually the high blood pressure caused a thrombosis in the back of my eye.
Way back in 1982 soldiers in adage my residence.l bravely fought with one of them who aimed at me but the bullet missed me.when l fought with the one who had shot at me and managed to removed the gun from him his colleague through a hand grenade at me and my left eye was hit. The grenade didn't burst.This left eye pained me for a while.But as l grew older l started feeling uncomfortable with my left eye.The vision began slowing down ..Two weeks ago it closed off all vision.Can the vitamins suggested help restore vision?
I have Keratoconus on both eye with a transplantation on my left eye, I used Dexamethasone and my left eye had a pressure of 40 while my right eye only has like 10. I'm now making sure they lower my pressure on my left eye in the hospital and eventually with an operation if it doesn't lower like they want it to be. It's like you said, most people don't realize when they have Glaucoma until it's too late and they have already a lot of damage in their vision. But thanks to my Keratoconus they always check my eye pressure on both eyes as something standard and told me today that I was good on time and they did some sort of a scan and didn't find any damage, also I didn't lose any vision. So I kinda have to thank my Keratoconus to make sure I'm good on time with it.
Hi! Thanks so much for being here. I did a medical mission trip to Jamaica a few years back. Amazing experience and I hope to return someday. How is the recovery going?
@@DoctorEyeHealth Wow! Thank you so much for responding. Usually I do not get a response and I just figure that it is I am not from the USA. Thanks for caring. My vitrectomy is going fine according to my Doc, but I am not able to see any words, and the vision is quite foggy. I can see objects though, and can go to t he supermarket and still train in and teach my martial arts class. Just need the fogginess to go...lol
Thank you for the informative videos. You provide suggestions that complement conventional treatments. As a vegetarian I do follow most of the diet advice but my question is about supplements. Do they work? We read about bilberry, saffron, lutein, ginkgo Biloba. Are they worth taking ?
I’m a coffee drinker. Too much coffee increases eye pressure and bp. What do you think of some eyedrops for glaucoma causing eyelid allergies? How to take care of this problem? I have this problem.
Good day, Doctor Allen!! Watching from Canada- What are the most up to date treatments in 2023 for glaucoma (IOP) & cataracts, that actually work to restore vision completely.other than what you recommend. Do you connect with optometrists, opthalmologists, in Canada? (I am researching IOP treatments/cataract laser treatment that would work best for these eye conditions) Thanks for this information!!! Cheers & have a great day!!!🥰🥰🦅🦅
Our new born baby affected glacumo for both eye.. Born Day the pressure is 60 for right eye and 45 for left eye.. Now glacumo surgery is done .. Now both eye pressure is 21.. But eye is cloud now.. Many doctors say my baby vision chance is low.. Very very sad feel that I heared.. Tell me please.. My baby has a chance to vision or not??? 😢😢😢😢

Great video! I'm glad you're one of the eye doctors that recommends helping eye issues in ways that are natural, including diet, exercise and natural herbs. So many people in the medical community are still sold on the, "Here's a pill. Take this, and go."
You're looking at healing at the root. You deserve major props for it! Please keep it up.
Do you know my doctor Haha.....That's what he says every time I mention that I would like other options to get off the medication...His response....you will be on meds for the rest of your life.

I am 69yrs old and was diagnosed 10yrs ago and thanx for the good tips you just shared. Q: 1.Do you get too sensitive to the sun due to Glaucoma, 2.what vitamins do you recommend to a person with Glaucoma. 3.Does your glaucoma get worse if you are a Thyroid patient?
Super natural prowess displayed in your good work Dr Mados you are loved
You have a very nice, pleasant voice to explain many issues and studies concerning glaucoma. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Your are a eyes opened for people that don't know what going on in one eyes was quite plain how you explain thank you Dr watching from Belize central
Excellent! Thank-you! So appreciate an insightful, open-minded discussion about studies that support a more natural approach to prevention and treatment, in conjunction with traditional practices. Be well.
The last few weeks I experienced blurriness on my right eye, I’ve been seeing an ophthalmologist finally few days ago they ran a vision field test,!! I’ve been so stressed regarding the blurriness on my eye!! I’ve been so stressed regarding the blurriness on my eye!!!Thank you for taking the time to educate us!
Thank you so much for this information
From Jamaica 🇯🇲
Is the blurriness from the stress or something else? I had really blurry eyes onset after worrying about my vision. Went to eye doctor. Have contacts on and glasses on the way. PLUS going to glaucoma specialist likely narrow angle like my mom and sister but we will see. Doc said the blurriness wasn’t from my glaucoma so likely hyper focused and freaking out what is wrong with eyes. Maybe anxiety and panic attacks. If so don’t feel alone and breath lightly and evenly and r-e-l-a-x until you see your doctor.
Thanks!
You are gentle and kind. God will sponsor the program.stay blessed thank you.❤
I am 64 and have been diagnosed glaucoma recently than you so much for sharing these tips.please keep on serving humanity.from BHARAT.
Dr. Allen, thanks for sharing all the best topics & information about Eye issues & benefits on your UA-cam channel!
the norm of visiting doctors today is either virtual or, at the office for a very limited time!
Doctors don’t have time to explain the situation to their patients. They think writing a prescription is all the patients want !! That is so sad.
Thanks to the internet & thanks to you & other sources of information we can educate ourselves.
Thank you for sharing. I just came from an optometrist appt in which I learned I had very high eye pressure. The Dr said there aren't any ways to reverse it and basically glaucoma is inevitable- meaning there's not much I could do to prevent further degeneration but I refuse to believe there's nothing that can be done. Btw I know the very act of seeking this info out is confirmation bias but this is objectively solid information. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the information. I’m being treated for glaucoma in my left eye, but my right eye has too much trauma in it, since I had surgeries on my right eye over the years and can’t have the laser treatment. The right eye has has a thicker cornea,I guess because of the trauma, but my surgeon feels that because it wasn’t thick at birth, it doesn’t have the benefit that usually thicker corneas have. Is this true, or is it possible that I still have the benefit of a thicker cornea, even though it was due to trauma. Thank you so much for your time. Peter. (I also heard about non-drug hydrogel. Is there anything to this?)
I’m sorry, Dr., I just had one more question. If you don’t mind, my surgeon feels reluctant to do Migs on my right eye, should I need treatment, because of potential risk. I’m too afraid of the medication. Is Migs surgery? Very risky? Thanks, Peter. (Loved your video.)
Had an Optic Neuritis three years and was DV'd with NAION. Now three years later told that I have Narrow Angle Glaucoma, treating it with a laser treatment in my good eye and then have to go through a cataract surgery on the good eye to prevent blindness. This has been a crazy life altering condition, was told that this is hereditary. Thoughts....I eat right, no high pressure readings but told that I have small eye structures. Thank You
Im 64 and glaucoma suspect (hereditary). All I do is annual screening. Beginning to see flashes of light. Thanks very much for insightful eye opening engagement. Seeing my opthalmologist soon, this time, with wealth of info from your video. Thanks ever so much.🎉
I just had the laser surgery to reduce the eye pressure. I currently have a 9 reading in each eye.
@@upshiftgo Nope.
Thank you, Doctor! It's so good to have a professional telling us how to do things naturally. You + Doctor Allen Mandell have helped me so much more than any local doctor anywhere I've ever lived has. In a serious way, I mean it. Bless you!!
Dr.Sam Berne is also tremendously helpful.
Thank God i was looking for natural encounter for my eye but thank you i love your knowledge and graceful with it God bless you continue to teaches us to move form fear to the reality of life

Hello from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
I’m 76 and had a partial retina detachment 10 years ago. Fortunate for me my eye doctor called me after leaving him a message after business hours. I thought it was just a floater but he Insisted I see him the next day (Saturday). Sent me to a eye surgeon and it saved my eye sight.
Developed glaucoma several years later. Currently using drops and regular eye exams.
Thank you for all the information on ways I can help my eyes naturally. Also your medical explanations have helped me understand so much about my eyes.
What is your opinion on having a small glass of wine with a meal ?
I have had glaucoma since I was 33 years old. My dad went blind to it and his mom had it as well. I have been on drops (Lumigan) for 20 years but insurance will no longer cover it. I still have a bunch of drops left, so when I am done, I will go on another type of drop. Hopefully it will keep my pressure down. Thanks for all of the great information!!
What is your current situation about eye pressure,
How is your vision?
it is stable because I go to eye dr every 4 months.

Not only do I have to eat healthy for glaucoma, but I have a syndrome called polycystic ovary syndrome. In order to treat it, I have to adapt a healthy lifestyle to improve the symptoms like my insulin level and blood pressure and keep my glucose low and other things in my blood.

Take a look at carnivore. You might find it to help, or even eliminate, glaucoma.
@@DoctorEyeHealthmy dad was diagnosed of glaucoma 2 years ago (final stage of glaucoma) and was placed on eye drops. But instead of being effective it's getting worse.
Checking in on the replay from CA. I’ve had ocular hypertension for many years and I’ve been watched as a suspect with no active glaucoma. Being monitored and tested regularly with my ophthalmologist. So I’m interested in things that can help lower eye pressures.

Overall eye health is important. While I have glaucoma, it has not deteriorated in about a decade since when an eye doctor told me that a Bausch and Lomb pill will halt macular degeneration (not reverse already existing damage; mother had that). Since then, and for about a decade, I've been taking Bausch & Lomb PreserVision AREDS 2 with Multi vitamin and have not needed new eyeglasses either and I'm 72. Not any kind of medical pro, but I would personally recommend anyone/everyone discussing those pills with their own eye doctor to see if they're a good idea for you. Protecting your eyes from glare is important, too.
My mom is 46 years old ...she is suffering with glaucoma from some years ...she had done laser treatment but after 3years it turned out again ...the doctors said due to laser her nerves became weak ..now she is still suffering after that...its been 10 years
The video was perfect. I was feeling so lonely and scared by my diagnosis but your channel helped me to calm down. Thank you:)
Sorry you feel like that.

Thank you, my medicine for asthma says there is a risk of glaucoma. I have to breathe tho. Good thing you mentioned exercise can have risks. A girl I know who was competitive starting a new exercise program was going to hard. She had a hemoragic stroke and passed away from the overexertion.
I was diagnosed with traumatic glaucoma last year. Been on 3 eye drops a day and had Ahmed valve surgery to lower my pressure even more since my baseline pressure in my left eye was 50. I asked my doctor if there was any vitamins I could take to help even more but told me there wasn’t enough evidence to prove they’re effective. I’ve been doing my own research now though and on top of the vitamins you listed there’s also nicotinamide and citicoline. My pressure in my left eye was 18 last appointment. I started taking a lot of different vitamins since then and I’ll see in a few months if there’s any positive changes at my next appointment.
Thanks for putting this together. I've got to research this topic to help my father who has been told he may go blind. He's not eating well so I'm going to stay with him for a bit and be a diet fascist. Your information is going to be a help in reducing that IOP, and in my fortitude! Thank you, I'd like this twice if I could.

I'm In Pennsylvania. My pressure is high and three different surgeries have not worked. I have taken two different pills Methazolamide and Acetazolamide. What horrors. The first I took for 5 months. I had bowel issues, fatigue, couldn't leave my house until 2:00 in the afternoon, depression. A horror. My doctor said that most of his patients can tolerate it for a month, but I was on it for 5 months. Then a third unsuccessful surgery. I see a specialist at a very world renowned hospital. I also have iritis. Yep. Lucky me. So I am desperate for something that doesn't require a steroid eye drop and doesn't require surgery. The second pill isn't much better, but it has only been a week. Loose bowels that made me late to work two days in a row. I am desperate. I am listening to your message very carefully. Hoping for a miracle, which would be lowering my pressure 20-25%. Thank you. I have a little bit of hope. I have had these eye conditions since 2004 and I am now in my early 60s.
Look into urine therapy and also look into Ayurveda. There is a UA-cam video that shows a mixture of lemon juice and other herbs and it has worked for a lot of people.

Gina from Trinidad and Tobago. Just this afternoon completed SLT on my left eye. Last week Monday had it done on my right eye.
I've heard that green smoothies can encourage kidney stones. I like to cook my kale or greens (mustard, turnip and collards) and season them with garlic powder and Better than Bullion even use a bit of Bragg's aminos before eating. Tastes good to me.
OOOh that sounds great!!!! There is some reported concerns of eating greens and the development of kidney stones but the doctors I have spoken to have told me that is rarely seen and not a concern. In fact the number one cause of kidney stones comes from people NOT eating enough vegetables and not drinking enough water. Some people don't digest oxylates well and in those cases spinach is recommended to avoid but all the other greens are still great. But as always, best to consult a local health professional if you are concerned.
I've heard supplementing with calcium helps mitigate the absorption of oxylates. Also, steaming greens helps to get rid of a significant amount of oxylates from the greens themselves.
@@ozonelayercake Check that out again from different sources. There is plenty of calcium in vegetables. Most doctors say do not supplement with calcium because too much in your system will lead to hardening of the arteries and heart attack. Get your calcium in natural form from a good amount of leafy greens every day. Also, if you do take calcium (please don’t) you need vitamin K with it to be safe.
Chlorella. Spirulina. Please talk about these?
Due to high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol, my dietician friend told me i was in line for a stroke, this was 10 years ago. Since then, I started on smoothies along with adding more salads to my diet, my BP and cholesterol have been excellent. I start everyday with 1 leaf organic kale, 1 banana, ice, water, very simple recipe, blend with the grinding blades. Later, i experimented with coconut and/or 1/4 Avocado, delicious! I've never had any stones. I believe this juice is a healer. It even makes me feel more balanced and healthy immediately after, it's crazy.

Beautiful eyes. I noticed!
Just came across your video in my feed. Very informative for someone like myself who is in early 50's, and has been a glaucoma suspect, mainly due to family history and high eye pressure.
I have been under constant monitoring by an ophthalmologist the past 15 yrs or so. He is very pleased with my strong nerves so far. Part of the monitoring includes visual field test, eye dialection and etc every 4 months or so.
My question is: is it possible that I may not need any treatment or drops in my lifetime despite of family history?
Thank you so much and keep up the good work!🙏
Do you take any supplements that are helping you? I was just diagnosed with high ocular pressure of 24 in both eyes. Ophthalmologist recommended latanoprost even though optic nerves look healthy. Mother has glaucoma. I am very worried, drops burn and eyes don't feel natural.😢
Super helpful and thank you I'm gonna try all these things. Wish me success on my recovery with my glaucoma I pray I can get to a zero number 🙏

What treatment options are available for glaucoma patients who have suffered complete loss of eyesight?
Thank you Doc for your presentation on natural remedies. Would you be presenting a video session on how to sleep appropriately to lower IOP?
I read an article by National Foundation for Glaucoma on sleeping on your back and wearing glasses lower IOP and the glasses kept the person from applying pressure on their infected eye or eyes.
Also a presentation on measurement IOP different as you stand, sit, and lie down on your spine. Thank you in advance.
This information is really worth to observe as a source of so important &Valuable i piece
i have glaucoma. i took my vimatin D levels and is 22 the normal range is 30 to 100, so maybe glaucoma got to do something with vitamin D
Just returned from the Hospital after being told my eye pressure is high so I need to now take eyedrops on both eyes potentially for the rest of my life. Am emotional as my dear Mum had this, so she's passed it on to me (thanks Mum, but I love ya!). Am looking at natural ways to ease the pressure as well as the medicated eyedrops too of course, and guess whose video popped up first? Yep!
Greetings from Austria! This is a video I was waiting for! Stream aired at 2am so I watched this the next morning.
My questions:
- What about Omega 3? I read somewhere it helps protect the optical nerve ...
- What about the cannabinoid CBG? Cannabis used to be "the" classic application for medical cannabis once upon a time, right? Seems contemporary sources suggest if at all it is the CBG compound that is beneficial?
Hey Thank you!!!
1. Omega 3 studies are a bit mixed when it comes to glaucoma, not many studies looking at it specifically. But it has been found to be helpful for the retina and many cases of dry eye disease. For retinal disease, it helps reduce inflammation, such as in cases of diabetic retinopathy. So the idea is sound, but I don't have any studies to recommend a certain amount to take.
2. I will have to look more into CBG specifically. The use of medical marijuana has been studies for glaucoma for over 60 years, however, the effects are reported to be rather transient and there are concerns over smoking substances and causing more damage to the body. Enough so that I have never heard of a glaucoma specialist write a prescription for medical marijuana, other treatments are just far safer and more cost effective. As far as edibles and supplements, I am not sure of studies showing the effects on IOP. But I imagine it could have some effect on reducing stress lol
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thanks for the reply!

I went blind in my left eye with glaucoma. If I look back I realise I should have gone for regular eye checks. In my youth I couldn’t afford to pay for eye tests and glasses. Also my doc knew I had high blood pressure because it was checked every six months when I went for my pill description but it never got treated. Eventually the high blood pressure caused a thrombosis in the back of my eye.
Way back in 1982 soldiers in adage my residence.l bravely fought with one of them who aimed at me but the bullet missed me.when l fought with the one who had shot at me and managed to removed the gun from him his colleague through a hand grenade at me and my left eye was hit. The grenade didn't burst.This left eye pained me for a while.But as l grew older l started feeling uncomfortable with my left eye.The vision began slowing down ..Two weeks ago it closed off all vision.Can the vitamins suggested help restore vision?

Very useful info for glaucoma patient like me. Love from Malaysia.
What eye drops should I use for glaucoma?
I have Keratoconus on both eye with a transplantation on my left eye, I used Dexamethasone and my left eye had a pressure of 40 while my right eye only has like 10. I'm now making sure they lower my pressure on my left eye in the hospital and eventually with an operation if it doesn't lower like they want it to be. It's like you said, most people don't realize when they have Glaucoma until it's too late and they have already a lot of damage in their vision. But thanks to my Keratoconus they always check my eye pressure on both eyes as something standard and told me today that I was good on time and they did some sort of a scan and didn't find any damage, also I didn't lose any vision. So I kinda have to thank my Keratoconus to make sure I'm good on time with it.
Thank you for educating us 👍🏼
