Unknown: This herbal supplement is obtained from a plant in the tomato family. It contains withanolides (steroidal lactones), alkaloids, choline, fatty acids, amino acids, and a variety of sugars. Like any plant or herb, the unknown compounds like alkaloids can have undesirable side effects. Since no testing has been done, we do not know if ashwagandha is safe for glaucoma patients.

Yes: Ashwagandha is a very safe and well-tolerated herb with many benefits that has been used for thousands of years. It has been subject to many research studies. While there is no specific research on it and glaucoma, there is no evidence it is harmful for those with glaucoma and is likely of some benefit.
