I am going to encourage both of you to consider the following:
- Slanting your bed (especially if a side sleeper)
- Ergothioneine (an antioxidant) or eating mushrooms several times a week
- Astaxanthin (4 mg)
- Life Extension Eye Pressure Support (special bilberry extract and pycnogenol)
- Citicoline (1,000 mg)
- Nattokinase
Some of the eye pressure can come from your own high blood pressure. Laying down increases eye pressure, too. Nattokinase can help remove artery plaques, as can statins (a prior study I posted on Free Republic shower the statin benefit). Citicoline was found to help glaucoma as a neural protectant, independent of eye pressure. The Eye Pressure Support formula was found to “significantly reduce interocular pressure” by the three month point. Ergothioneine is a fallback antioxidant when a cell’s normal antioxidants have been used up, as happens in eye cells under duress.
Someone I know just got the good news that their early stage glaucoma was basically reversed, with mostly these changes, coupled with looser clothes. Also, this person was taking brimonidine-only drops. Cells came back to life that looked dormant in the last scans.
This person also started taking multiple types of fiber they hadn’t been getting before, which could have helped their cholesterol lower.
Thanks for these suggestions.
Each will be considered, and I don’t see anything non logical or bizarre.
Not fun slowly losing the former precision level of my vision.
I’m making plans for the day when I no longer feel safe driving at all, not even during the day. That’s years away, hopefully.
