Question 1

how can i cure glaucoma naturally.thanks?

Accepted Answer

Not possible: There are no products in the "natural" line which have any effect on the internal eye pressure.   The standard current pharmacologic treatment is a prostaglandin agent derived from a natural prostaglandin (is that natural enough?).  Your vision is important and current therapy is effective so don't neglect things looking for something that is not there.

Question 2

how can i cure primary open angle glaucoma naturally by exercise or alternative safety ways please ?

Accepted Answer

Not possible: There are no natural products, no natural treatment , no exercises etc. that will modify glaucoma in any way.  There is effective pharmacologic and surgical treatment and you should follow the advice of your ophthalmologist for the preservation of your important vision.  Naturopaths and chiropractors have no role to play at all in this condition.

Question 3

what are the ways to cure glaucoma at 80?

Accepted Answer

Readily treated: Glaucoma is mostly a problem with outflow of the internal (aqueoius) circulation of fluid inside the eye.  To overcome the resistance of the outflow, the pressure elevates.  This can damage the back of the eye and lead to vision loss.  Treatment is by medication lowering fluid production, laser enhancement of outflow or surgical drainage procedures. No actual cure since the cause is unknown.

Question 4

please describe the ways to cure glaucoma ?

Accepted Answer

Treatable: Glaucoma is chronic.  Treatment is effective but not truly curative.  Most cases respond to anti-glaucoma drops, some require laser treatment or operative surgery.  The surgery frequently normalizes the pressure but does not cure the underlying process.  It creates instead a fluid bypass so pressure is no longer an issue.  If you have glaucoma you should have an ophthalmolgist for treatment.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 7

when can we expect cure for glaucoma?is there any progress in process of finding cure?

Accepted Answer

Have patience: Most glaucoma is an age related change in the outflow track for the internal fluid circulation of the eye.  We do not know what causes this unless it is something age related like grey hair for which no cure is in sight.  Many are working on this problem; if there is a "trigger" or cause that can be addressed, then a cure might be possible.  Currently treatment is the only option and is good.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Possibly: There are a number of causes for congenital glaucoma. Depending on what the underlying problem is, there indeed may be treatment. It is very important to get a pediatric opthalmologist involved asap as they can guide both diagnosis and treatment. Every day you delay puts your child's vision at more risk.
