Interesting Article; I have always ate the right foods. I was told I had Glaucoma in 2000. I had cataracts removed in 2003. They did implants so I would not have to wear Coke Bottles. I was put 0n 1 eye drop after another. My pressures were trageted to be 12 both eyes. Then in 2020, they did laser to reduce my eye pressures as they were now 14 and the doctor told me no need for eyedrops now. But he still gave me 9 months of eyedrops. He scheduled me for my next appointment in 6 months. I had the pressures checked a 6 months later. they were now 15, so the laser did nothing. I now had a big problem, as no matter what we did my eye pressures stayed above 15. I was losing the battle. Since then I have lost most of the vision in my good right eye. my left eye has blind area above the center. Now my vision is getting fuzzy and I have double vision. Not sure how much longer I will last. I gave up driving in 2020. I can get around the house as I have memorized it well. Then next problem is coming soon. I do not look forward to the coming months and years. I was told 3 years ago that they were very, very close for a cure due to very good progress in several areas for Glaucoma repairs. And for me not to worry. Well, that was 3 years ago now and I see no further progress. Hope for the best, but expect the worst. Good Luck to all of you with similar problems. Doctors tell you stuff, but really do not know.

For what it is worth a doctor Joel Wallach was giving a lecture and was challenged by an eye doctor in the audience! Dr Joel Wallach took on all of the eye doctors glaucoma patients. He cured 97% of them naturally and that is an excellent example of power of supplements that he put those patients on . I suggest sugar and few sugar substitutes and the drink Red Bull bad for the eyes

I mentioned my dry eye syndrome and that I prefer holistic approach. Without checking to see what was causing my dry eyes she just said it’s caused by the ducts blocked by oil and to use heat compresses and soap in my eyes, if that don’t work then I will need to get medicated eye drops. Been through that before and it didn’t work. She never mentioned anything about diet. Now I have to find another doctor Forgot to mention she is the ice queen too

Fortunately a coworker had it done and talked me into it 🙂 The treatment takes only 5 minutes and has lasted 3 years so far. My recent check up shows I'm still good, so I can tell you I'm thrilled with the results. Here in Canada it's free for the laser treatment, but I used to have to pay $60 for the tiny bottle of eye drops which lasts 6 weeks. When I ran out in the states, the same bottle cost me $180 US.🙃🤪
