Glaucoma: If there were, wouldn't it be mainstream? Wouldn't you find it on supermarket shelves? Please see an Opthalmologist with a decade of medical training in how to best treat your condition. Don't expect that a professional history of effective care will be superseded by your 10 minute computer search. Get competent professional care before the damage becomes irreparable.
