Increased eye pressure/glaucoma, anyone has dealt with it?
-
My eyes pressure is usually on the high side, doc confirmed a little bit of my right eye vison field is gone.
He recommends either SLT laser, or daily eye drops to reduce eye pressure and prevent glaucoma, he mentioned two drugs called Xalatan or Travatan Z
is there a natural alternative to this? thanks

I have not dealt with this issue. Nutrition Facts has some videos on glaucoma (and nutrition) that you might find helpful.

@GRay check your posture .

@DavidPS @sneedful thanks

Sub stack, A Midwestern Doctor, has a series of articles on the historical usage of DMSO, buried by FDA. The latest article deals with healing eyes with dmso. Maybe worth a read. I plan to try on myself and DH for a few issues.

I have a lot of experience.
Mix 30% solution of DMSO / water with some thiamine, niacinamide, agmatine and melatonin. Put a little bit AROUND your eye, not in the eye.
Pressures are normalized for many hours, and it protects the retinal nerve.
We use a tonometer to check pressures. This is a strikingly effective therapy.
But go to the eye doctor as you could have a more dangerous form, closed angle or acute angle, which can make you blind quite fast. The normal type, open angle, is a slow destroyer of vision.
I think it’s all from low energy mitochondrial dysfunction, and the solution I’m using really works. I have a loved one with it, not me.
BTW, I use my solution for many different things, including around my ears and a sore knee, and it just fixes it so fast. I’m hoping my hearing and eyesight improve.

@Sunniva can’t access this. Mercolas site is rubbish now.
-
@Ecstatic_Hamster - I think you can join with an email, no charge, and access all content. I think I did that once, and I get email notifications of new articles.

@Ecstatic_Hamster - here is the pdf version on mercola's website. Does it work?

https://media.mercola.com/ImageServer/Public/2024/November/PDF/dimethyl-sulfoxide-dmso-benefits-side-effects-pdf.pdfyou're kind, it does, thank you

@Ecstatic_Hamster thanks for the info. I believe I was told mine is open angle.
are the vitamins and melatonin you are mixing in a powder or liquid form? do you use distilled water to mix all or bacteriostatic water?
are you actually an ophthalmologist? what do you think of Taustin eye drops for lowering eye pressure?
My hope would be to keep improving my health that at same point my eye pressure would normalize

@Sunniva thanks
I have been using Magnoil from Idealabs, topical magnesium dissolved in DSMO for a month probably, but I do not think it helped with my eye pressure.
I'm wondering If I would use this around my eyes like @Ecstatic_Hamster suggested
-
I think haidut once mentioned 3g of vitamin b3 and 3g of b6 fixed glaucoma.
-
@izkrov - You have an excellent memory.
From Haidut's website.
Niacinamide + pyruvate may treat glaucoma (human study) -
@GRay I'm not a doctor. It isn't bacteriostatic because I'm putting it on my skin around the eye.
This actually works very well. I am an expert in this area as I deal with this all the time with a loved one and we own a good tonometer so we can see what is working and what isn't.
It isn't pressure that is the issue although this is all that they treat here in the West. The reality is much of the world has glaucoma without a rise in IOP at all.
The drops I am using are very protective of vision and they lower pressure due to the thiamine which is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and opens up the drainage by raising CO2.
But you should see a competent specialist so you can get this monitored.
-
@Ecstatic_Hamster thank you
what are your thoughts on the RX eye drops Xalatan and Travatan Z or the SLT laser treatment to lower IOP?
-
@GRay carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and beta blocker drops are safest. Prostaglandin drops not so much. The “drops” I make work through carbonic anhydrase inhibition. My loved one had a laser iredectomy but it isn’t enough. Not sure it is actually useful.
