    In this video we reviewed a 2019 study published in the Journal of Glaucoma where patients already being treated for primary open angle glaucoma were assigned either as a control group or as a treatment group. The Control group was instructed to keep taking their medications as instructed but otherwise received no further instructions. The Treatment group was assigned to perform mindfulness meditation with a meditation guide for 1 hour a day for 3 weeks.
    After looking at eye pressure, stress hormones and quality of life measures, the study found that about 75% of the treatment group had a reduction in high eye pressure by about 25%
    Open angle glaucoma treatment typically involves medicated eye drops or surgical procedures to lower the intraocular pressure. While this study does support that natural remedies such as meditation can lower the high ocular eye pressure, it is important to note the patients in this study also continued their medical treatment for glaucoma.
    Please continue to take your medications for glaucoma treatment and consult with your treating eye doctor before ever discontinuing your glaucoma treatments.

    I have high eye pressure because of obesity from antipsychotic.I start eating fruits and vegatbles for 3 months and my eye pressure went back to normal I didn't need drops and the doctor looked pissed. I'm on drops now because they increase my antipsychotic and gained 30 pounds and blood sugar was elevated now I'm on drops. I decided this month to quit my antipsychotics and start eating healthier and execise 5 time week. Hopfully I lose 80 pounds this year. In Jesus name.

I'm now almost blind in right out due to surgery failure. I was told by a guy who fixed my car about these vitamins, and for the first time ever my pressures went down rapidly, here is what I take, it's like a miracle really, but it does say in scripture God makes all herbs and food for healing. vitamin A every other day, blueberries small bowl every morning, with a few chunks of pineapple. spirulina vitamin form, Aloe vera capsules, Lutein and Zeaxanthin supplement, B1 fat soluble, b12, and antioxygen. ASRAXNTHIN, vit D and half tab of magnesium. I split them up throughout the day and eat with food. If I would have know this years ago I would have saved myself all those operations, and the pain I have most days in bad eye,

      @@das1992 Hi, I was in my late 30's and I notice my eyes were always sore and dry so I went and the eye hospital in UK, said your a walking miracle you've been walking around with pressures of 40, I took those horrible drops for over 25 years which kept my pressures around 20- 25, which is still high for most people, but every so often they would stop working so they would change them, Then I'd end up having to have opp. You may not believe this but once they reached a whopping 55 before emergency opp. anyway I use distance glasses but I can see brilliant with left eye, and I did with right eye before my last opp. I would say the fresh blueberries and aloe vera made a biggest difference and vitamin A. The man who fix my car told me about them. I found out about the other supplements online. I no longer take drops, the bad eye went to low and hasn't recovered the good eye went down from 22 after surgery, and now with my supplements left eye is 13, and is staying stedy.so start taking them a few weeks before you go to eye doctor and take them about a couple of hours before you have pressures done. please let me know how you got on. Beat of luck. PS I always pray as well. I'm 60 years old now. God bless

I’ve lost around 12 kg recently and a subsequent pressure test showed 12 and 10 respectively, which is about as good as it’s ever been. For the record, I’ve had a number of procedures (trabs, needling etc) and am currently walking around with a stent in each eye. I take Timolol/Latanoprost each evening in the right (dominant) eye, which is the one reading 12.

      Unfortunately there are also a number of studies that show diet has no effect. Cause or correlation is an aspect that needs to be proven first with these claims and so far there is no real proof that diet can help with many specific diseases. Also it has been shown that approximately 30-40% of science research publications are erroneous in there findings.
      We all need to stick to facts and stay away from these nebulas claims that only serve to make someone rich.

    If you're going to talk about glaucoma you should probably also mention Normal Tension Glaucoma. My father had glaucoma. And, for over 15 years, I complained about something being wrong with my eye. Lots of exams and OCTs but no one actually compared the results. Finally, someone noticed a 'flare' and correctly diagnosed glaucoma. Back at the clinic where there were all those OCTs the 'doctor' said, "Oh, yes I see it now!" This is why I think those little puffs of air are a total waste of time. I lost 15 years of treatment just because of medical laziness...

    I was doing meditation pretty regularly for a long time and had gotten up to 1/2 an hour each session. I enjoyed guided meditation videos or CDs with this. But then we moved to another state and I got out of the habit of doing this. You've inspired me to get back into it.
    I was diagnosed with glaucoma back in 2006, and after struggling with various drops it seems that Travatan Z is working well for me. My glaucoma specialist before we moved used to scare me with terms like cupping and such. When I moved and found a new eye specialist, he said, "You have a slightly enlarged optic nerve," very casually. For some reason, his calm manner and straight forward demeanor allowed me to let go off all the worry and fear I had surrounding my diagnosis. My eye pressures soon settled into the "acceptable range" (I think everyone is different) and I've been maintaining this ever since. Anyway all this is to say that I think my stress level prior to this was related to worrying about the seemingly doomed state of my vision. A good chair side manner, though does wonders.

    • @lifecloud2
      @lifecloud2 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@das1992 From what I understand, eye pressure varies during the day. I hate that this happens since who the heck knows what the pressure is going to do when it's measured at the doctor's office. I'm 74. Diagnosed with Narrow Angle Glaucoma in 2005. Since then, three laser procedures and one trabectomy (I'm sure that isn't spelled right but I think you know what this is HAHA!).
      When I was first diagnosed, the pressure readings were around 35. The eye doctor did a laser procedure right then and there. For a time, the pressure dropped down into the mid-20s and has been dropping since. My doctor tells me anything under 21 is considered "normal." At my last visit, my pressures were 15 and 16. I had my cataracts removed during my trab surgery and my doctor told me this often brings down the pressure. When my pressures dropped to 18, my doctor was fine with it.
      But what's normal for people without glaucoma may not be normal for those with it. It has to do with the optic nerve. I believe 20 would be considered "iffy" but that's up to your doctor. Keep your eyes from getting dry ... use over the counter dry eye drops for this. It can help.
      I belong to a support group for glaucoma. Having people there who know what you're dealing with is comforting and I can recommend it. I'm not sure exactly how to join this group (it was on Yahoo for a time and is now on Google) but you might want to send an email to the group and ask how to join: tgfapup@googlegroups.com
      If it's caught early, you have a better chance of dealing with it. Main thing is to try not to worry (easy for me to say, right?). I was once worried when I heard that 10% of all people with glaucoma will lose their sight. But then I thought, "Wait ... that means 90% don't!" Hope this helps.

      Was your optic nerve slightly enlarged when you were diagnosed with glaucoma? My sister was also diagnosed with glaucoma and said her optic nerve was also enlarged. I am very worried about my sister's eyesight. Moreover, he is still 27 years old. I'm really afraid that this disease will destroy his future.

      @@SakuraMinato-yc1xf When I was first diagnosed with glaucoma in 2005, my pressures were in the 30s. The eye doctor gave me laser surgery right away that day. After glaucoma surgery and a couple of laser procedures and years of eye drops, the pressures are down to around 16/17. But I've been told that the glaucoma was caught and treated early and this made a huge difference in the outcome.
      My original doctor used a lot of jargon and pretty well scared me by saying things like "I'm worried about the 'cupping'" and such. (When you hear your doctor is worried, it's automatically scary.) When we moved to a different state and I got a new glaucoma specialist, he was the one who said, "You have a slightly enlarged optic nerve." This helped ease my anxiety over this. His confidence in treating this helped me feel better.
      Another thing that helped was that I'd been scared by the statistics that said, "10% of people with glaucoma will lose their sight." But then, I realized, that that meant 90% don't lose their sight. It's all about trust and maintenance and finding a good doctor.
      There's no age requirement for glaucoma. It can creep up on you slowly. Maintaining the pressure will help slow this down.
      My suggestion for your sister is to find a good glaucoma specialist and trust what he/she advises. Don't take any chances with your eyesight. There's no cure for glaucoma. The best you can do is maintenance to keep it from getting worse.

      @denisemughrabi8171 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@user-jz4jz6us5p Yes, I am a Muslim convert (revert) of many years. But many people do not know that the word “Allah” is the Arabic word for “God”, NOT another God, like a “Moon God”. That is a lie!
      It actually means “The Only God”. The Arab Christians use the name “Allah” for God because Arabic is also their language! It is written in their Bible! As Muslims, we prefer to use the name “Allah”, because it cannot be made plural or feminine. So it cannot be changed to “Gods” or “ Goddesses”. In Aramaic, the sister language to Arabic, which is the language Jesus spoke, (May God Be Pleased With Him!!), it is “Elah”/“Aloho”. Both mean “God or Lord” or “My God & My Lord”. Both are Semitic Languages, as is Hebrew. In Hebrew, God is referenced as
      “Elohim”. All are conjugates of the same word. Just slightly differing pronunciations. This tells us that these Judeo -Christian Root religions, dating back hundreds of years (before English was a language) are correct!!
      I hope this helps clarify some of the common misconceptions about Islam. I also urge anyone reading this, to inquire more & seek out the truth about Islam & not believe what is being “spoon fed” by the media.
      They use fear tactics & misinformation to dumb people down. They are counting on our fear & unwillingness to learn, or keep an open mind, to keep us ignorant & unaware of the truth!! God implores us & makes it incumbent on every person, to each use their own mind, & to seek out knowledge of him! Not to follow blindly what our families, or others have told us to believe. We, alone, will stand before him upon our death! We are all going to face this moment no matter how rich or poor, smart or beautiful, etc. we are!! There’s no escaping death, that’s a fact of life!! There will be no one else, able to intercede for the sins we have committed & the wrong doings we have done. When we say that “Satan whispered to me…”, Lucifer will say “I didn’t force you to do anything!! Allah gave you ‘Free Will’ to choose!!”. (Yes, even Satan calls him Allah). What will you say? You didn’t know? No, that won’t be an option, because Allah says that the end of the world will come when all people are aware of his existence in every corner of the world!! Look at how they try to repress Islam in the media & blame Muslims for anything bad that happens in the world, & it only backfires on them! More & more people are becoming Muslim everyday!! It is the fastest growing religion in the world! There are billions, not millions, of people all over the world, who are Muslim. Many would have never heard of or known about Islam if it wasn’t for these events “perpetrated by so called Muslims” that are reported in the news over & over again, year after year!! God has used their own evil against them!! The exact opposite of what they want is happening!! Muslims pray toward the Holy City of Mecca, toward the Holy Kabbah, 5 times a day, everyday 365 days of the year! They don’t tell us in Church that Mecca is the place where Prophet Abraham (May God Be Pleased With Him!!) took Hagar, (May Allah Be Pleased With Her!!), his 2nd wife, & their son Prophet Ishmael, (May Allah Be Pleased With Him!!) when God ordered him to do so. They don’t tell us that Prophet Ishmael’s lineage is directly linked to Islam. But they tell us that Prophet Abraham’s 1st wife, Sarah, (May Allah Be Pleased With Her!!), & her son, Prophet Issaic, (May Allah Be Pleased With Him!!), is the direct lineage of the Jews. This is why Prophet Abraham (May God Be Pleased With Him!!) is the Father Of All Judeo-Christian Root Faiths! Allah was always referred to as the “God Of Abraham”, & still is today!
      When Prophet Abraham, took Hagar & Baby Ishmael, (May Allah Be Pleased With Them All!!), to the desert & left them with 3 days rations & told Hagar he would return. She asked him if “this is what God ordered him to do”? He told her “Yes!”, & she accepted it as “God’s Will” & obeyed. After he left & the food began to run out, she began looking for help! She went back & forth between 2 small mountains (Their names are Safwa & Marwa), looking for a caravan or any sign of life. The caravans would follow the birds. Wherever there were birds, they knew there was water to water their animals & to rest them & themselves. Meanwhile, she left her child down at the foot of the two mountains, between them. She would return to check on him. She did this 7 times. The last time she came, he had began to cry & kick the sand. From this spot, sprang a well. With no receptacles to fill & save the water, she began to gather the sand around the water with her hands to make a little reservoir to contain the water. This spring eventually became a well. This well still exists today. The birds soon came & the caravans followed. God sent help to Hagar & Ishmael, in Abraham’s absence, (May Allah be Pleased With Them All!!). It is called “The Well Of Zam Zam!” “Zam-Zam” means “Gather-Gather”, the motion she made with her hands. Millions of Muslims drink from this water every year when they preform their annual pilgrimage called “Hajj”. Geologists have tried to find the source of this well. It is not linked to any other body of water. Scientists have studied the chemical makeup of this water, because it is believed to have miraculous healing properties. They found that the mineral properties are in exactly the right proportion to what the human body needs! No more, & no less! But we never hear about this, in any religious or scientific discussions in The West. We have to ask ourselves “Why?!” Why the secrecy??”.
      It makes even the die hard skeptic wonder!
      Mecca, as it is now known by, became the hub for trade from India to China & many other neighboring countries. It is referred to as “The Silk Road”, where silks & spices & other wares were traded. The area flourished & became a bustling metropolis! With people of all different backgrounds meeting there, it became a place where many beliefs converged. They had built a place where all could worship their Gods & Idols. The people put their stones, statues, amulets, & even some foods, to be worshipped in this place. Most worshipped God’s Creation, Not God himself!!
      This angered God!! That is the place that God ordered Abraham & his son, Ishmael (May Allah Be Pleased With Them Both!!) to destroy, & rebuild it as a “House of Worship” for “The One True Living God!”. So that is what they did. That is the Holy Kabbah, a small cube like structure that you see people circling (called making Tawaf) while performing Hajj. They often show this on t.v. when announcing that the annual Hajj is beginning. Non-Muslim viewers have no idea what they are doing & why? This is part of the symbolic religious rituals or rights preformed as a part of the Hajj process.
      We emulate what the Prophets & Hagar did! (May Allah be pleased With Them All!!).
      Well, I could go into much more, but there is no time & space to do so. There are many Islamic websites & Islamic Centers in almost every community or close by, where you can get a free translation of the Holy Quran in English. They would be glad to help you answer any questions in anyway they can. I hope this helps bridge the gap of understanding between us all, of different belief systems & helps us become a more tolerant & peaceful humanity, God Willing!!🤲🏻🙏

I'm thinking it was because of my smoothies with a variety of organic greens and two fruits; organic mixed berries, banana, apples, or any fruit, a little ginger powder & turmeric powder & black pepper to taste, 1/2 lemon juice, apple cider vinegar to taste, I started with 1 teaspoon. Sometimes added cinnamon. Also can add hemp seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds. Can add any fruit, nuts, cacao, etc for different flavors. .I make enough to last 2 days, I used to make them every other night & put in Ball jars for quick grab in the morning. Used 1 or 2 different fruits each trip to the store. I also drank a variety of organic 100 percent juices if I didn't make a smoothie and ate a green salad. Doesn't take very long to make them after your things are organized to grab. This may help with glaucoma too, not sure, I am not a doctors. Best wishes.

      Thanks a lot, sir for giving information given. I have the eye problem which you have discussed. As per the advice given by my doctor, I am using the Eye drops one type four times a day and the other once before going to bed. Apart from the dropsI am advised to apply ointment once in a day. In the beginning when problem started eye pressure was 24.After using the eye drops for about six months, eye pressure has come to 14 and maintaing constan. But the doctor says eye drops should be constantly used Lifelong. I am aged 80 years. Please give your advice.

      @@nomorebsplzbtrue9300 healthy lifestyle is great for many reasons of course, but glaucoma in general is a disease of optic nerve damage from high eye pressure. Unfortunately nothing lowers eye pressure significantly other than glaucoma eye drops. Yes they are medications but due to them being eye drops they should not significantly circulate your bloodstream. As eye doctors, that is the best treatment

      If the 4 times a day drop is too much for you, talk to your eye drop and see if there are any alternatives that are less than 4 times a day

    I have glaucoma. What has proven effective for me is avoid watching tv and less time on the computer. And keep your phone brightness on very low. My eye pressure ( with medications ) before these techniques was 25 in the left eye and 30 in the right eye. Then after the techniques the left eye stays stable at 7 and the right eye at 15. Also, I noticed coffee and hot chocolate beverages cause the pressure to go up, so I quit those as well. The NBA playoffs is going on now and I watch the games. As a result, my right eye pressure is going back up with halo effect presenting. The left eye feels hard, too. I’ve discussed this with my eye doctor and he had me went into his office several times in hopes to confirm my findings and he his tests shows that my eye pressure indeed rapidly rise after watching tv and drinking these beverages.

She's stressed out as nothing seems to work for her. She said she can't take Latanoprost. She says she's allergic to it. So she is taking Timolol but her Dr. doesn't feel it will be enough. She has a constant fog covering her eyes. She's hoping laser will help but doesn't know if she is even a candidate for it or not. She's feeling very discouraged.
