Taking these supplements completely halted glaucoma in slower-developing glaucoma, while slowing it is fast-developing glaucoma.

They left the pressures high and the glaucoma was still halted.

They have a human trial going, now.

A Russian study on glaucoma and choline years ago led me to take choline daily, if not getting egg yolks. I was found to have high eye pressures and have been been able to drop my pressures by ten points in each eye, largely from supplements and diet, alone. I have a Brimonidine prescription (0.1%) for just one eye, twice a day, but the medicine is completely optional, now that my pressures are nearly too low.

I also take the other B vitamins listed, daily, along with a few other supplements meant to help treat or prevent glaucoma. I have no visual loss, but twice the machines have said I did. If I did, I got it all back and have zero retinal layer or field loss.

My ophthalmologist is impressed.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

First of all, thank you very much for posting these kinds of articles...sometimes they are very helpful. But don’t you ever get sick of the titles, i.e., “Vitamin supplements MAY slow down the...”

“Studies show that Explosive Diarrhea May Cure Cognitive Decline in Seniors While Improving Their Social Lives” (sarcasm)

Come on, anything MAY do something sometimes!

Sincerely, thanks again!

Thanks for posting this.

I am a “glaucoma suspect” and have been blessed by God to say in that category for I think 15 years. Lots of tests and pressure checks. I pray I stay out of the danger range.

Hope this vitamin study will be proof it’s helpful.

Thanks again.

About a month ago I was diagnosed with glaucoma-severe-in my right eye, and very mild in my left eye. Plus an occlusion in the retina of my right eye. I’ve had an injection in my right eye and I’m I’m putting drops in both eyes. Also taking a vitamin called PreserVision. Hopefully the damage in my eye will be halted, but the Dr. said what I have lost cannot be restored.

So injections and eye drops for the rest of my life are what I have to look forward to. I am new to all of this, so I have a lot to learn.

Interesting. I have a friend with glaucoma. He recently had some sort of procedure done for it.

I take a super B complex everyday. I don’t know about the eyes but it really gives you an energy boost.
