Six ways to prevent or reduce complications from Glaucoma:
1. Avoid sugar and grains, which lowers insulin levels, which in turn lowers blood pressure, resulting in reduced eye pressure.
2. Exercise regularly, which lowers insulin levels also.
3. Take omega 3 supplemental fish-oil pills, at least 1000mg/day
4. Eat plenty of whole food lutein and zeaxanthin sources, such as kale, collard greens, spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts and egg yolks, particularly raw egg yolks. It is important to note that lutein is an oil-soluble nutrient, and if you merely consume the above vegetables without some oil or butter you can't absorb the lutein. So make sure you’re eating some healthy fat along with your veggies. Mix the egg yolk in with something else to hide the taste, such as a shake.
5. Avoid trans fats. Not only do these kill your eyesight, these are just killers, period.
6. Eat dark colored berries, in small portions, or take berry extracts.
