The Natural Glaucoma Prescriptions

Symptoms:

 

Glaucoma is the rising of fluid pressure in the eye, which causes poor blood flow to the optic nerve and resulting in a loss in peripheral vision.  Untreated, it can make a person go blind.

 

Estimates say that over 3 million Americans have glaucoma but only about half of them know it.  It is also the second leading cause of blindness in the world.

 

Testing for a Cause:

 

·        Blood Pressure test

·        Hormonal Imbalance: saliva, blood, or urine test

·        Permeable intestines: urine test

·        Detox needed: urine test

·        Vitamin and mineral deficiencies (especially magnesium and vitamin C): blood test

·        Food and environmental allergies: blood or electrodermal test

·        Blood Sugar imbalance: blood

 

Medical Prescriptions:

 

Eye Drops: These decrease pressure in the eye by slowing the eye fluid aqueous humor.  Potential side effects are burning, stinging, and light sensitivity.  Major cautions are hallucinations, difficulty breathing, difficulty sleeping/nightmares, dizziness/fainting spells, irregular heartbeat, skin rash, and a warning for those with breathing and heart problems.

 

Prostaglandin Analogs: These drugs increase the aqueous fluid flow to the eye to decrease pressure.  Potential side effects include dry eyes, light sensitivity, burning, stinging, or itching, and increased flow of tears.  The major caution here is inflamed or infected eyes or eyelids.

 

Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors: these drugs decrease the rate of aqueous humor flow into the eye.  Side effects for the topical applications are the same as prostaglandin analogs.  Side effects for oral pills can include nausea, constipation, frequent urination, drowsiness, weakness and headaches.  The major cautions for the topical drugs are fever, inflamed or infected eyes, muscle/joint aches, skin rash and peeling, blistering or loosening of the skin.  Major cautions for oral pills are fever, sore throat, unusual bleeding or bruising, tremors and painful urination.

 

Sympathomimetics: these drugs help keep aqueous humor out of the eye to decrease pressure.  Potential side effects are burning, stinging, change in taste, drowsiness, dry eyes, headache, nausea, and light sensitivity.  Major cautions are allergic reactions, pink eye, and inflamed or infected eyes or eyelids.

 

Miotics (Parasympathomimetics): These drugs increase aqueous outflow from the eye to decrease eye pressure.  Potential side effects are chills, dizziness, headache, vomiting, trembling, weakness, and runny nose.  Major cautions are difficulty breathing and irregular heartbeat.
