A member asked:
Can there be a natural remedy to treat glaucoma rather than taking the medication prescribed?

Glaucoma: No natural remedy exists. Glucoma can be serious and untreated can lead to blindness. See your doctor and try to save your eyesight by taking prescribed medications and following instructions carefully.
