TOGETHER AGAINST GLAUCOMA

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that damages the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain. This usually happens due to the buildup of fluid in the eye, which increases the ocular pressure. Glaucoma can affect people of all ages, so it’s never too early to have your eyes checked by an optometrist.

Types of Glaucoma

There are many types of Glaucoma, with the most common being Open Angle Glaucoma and Angle-Closure Glacuoma. We have created a complete list.

Glaucoma supplements for lowering eye pressure

Best supplements for Glaucoma

Numerous studies highlight the effectiveness of supplements in lowering intraocular pressure and strengthening the optic nerve, helping reduce the risk of vision loss from glaucoma. We’ve compiled a list of the most effective supplements available.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, or SLT, is a form of laser surgery that is used to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma. It is non-invasive, painless and a great first-line treatment to lower eye pressure in patients with an open angle.

microshunT (innfocus or presserflo)

The MicroShunt is a tiny tube which is placed in the eye to help lower eye pressure in patients with glaucoma. It is suitable for patients with uncontrolled eye pressure and its pressure-lowering effect is generally superior to other implants, while being less invasive as trabeculectomy.

Natural remedies for lowering eye pressure

Natural remedies for lowering intraocular pressure

Medications and surgical treatments are the most common approaches for managing IOP. However, looking into natural remedies as complementary options to support eye health might be a good idea. While they shouldn’t replace professional care, incorporating them may help lower IOP.
