Alternative treatment for glaucoma
Glaucoma is an increase of pressure within the eye ball. Glaucoma condition is very similar to the high blood pressure in the body. Therefore, it is also known as hypertension of the eye. Untreated glaucoma may also results in serous eye troubles such as visual field defects and vision loss. Glaucoma condition is commonly found in far sight persons and also far sighted persons are more prone to develop this disease than near sighted ones.
Symptoms of glaucoma:

- . Many practitioners believe that intraocular pressure in glaucoma can be
lowered by vitamin C therapy. Dr. Michele Virno and his colleagues reported recently at a meeting of the Roman Opthalmological Society in Rome, Italy, that the average person weighing 150 pounds be given 7000 mg. of ascorbic acid, five daily, acquired acceptable intraocular pressure within 45 days. Symptoms such as mild stomach discomfort and diarrhoea from the large doses of vitamin C were temporary and soon disappeared. It has also been suggested that some calcium should always be taken with each dose of ascorbic acid to minimise any side effects of the large dose.
- The patient should undertake various methods of relaxing and strengthening the eyes.
Try to avoid mental stress and prolonged straining of the eyes such as T.V. or movie watching and excessive reading. The use of sun glasses should be avoided.
