I was scheduled for surgery to replace the cataract damaged lenses in both eyes. With my wife, I changed to eating a plant based diet. After a month, the osteo arthritis pain I suffered in my toes, plantar, heels, ankles, knees, elbows, wrists and fingers (each confirmed by xray images) disappeared. Almost a year after going plant based diet, my cataracts cleared in both eyes. I phoned the optometrist and requested a new vision test before my scheduled cataract surgery. She agreed. After the new exam, she cancelled the cataract surgery for my eyes! - It was a big step to give up all meat, dairy, processed foods, oils, etc. But, the rewards to me far exceed the compromises.

It does run in families. We know a family with two kids with glaucoma. The caught the one early, but the other had quite a bit of damage. People with glaucoma do not necessarily develop tunnel vision. I’ve lost peripheral vision in the upper part of my eye, which I think is a blessing actually. I can still see the floor very well which makes it less likely I will trip. My good eye sees a lot of what I’ve lost in the upper quadrant of the bad eye, so there’s another blessing. I hope everyone gets regular peripheral field vision tests so it can be caught early.

Thank you doctor for sharing such an interesting and important research information with us. You are a Godsend by doing this for us. You sound like a real doctor who knows his stuff. My grandmom was misdiagnosed by an incompetent man who said that her eye problem was all due to dryness. He would just prescribe to her Goniosol for her dryness. She and I did not know what was going on until she told me to take her to the hospital because she had difficulty with her vision. It wasn't until her eyes got dilated that the eye clinic doctor told us her vision was literally hanging on a thread due to damage done by untreated glaucoma. They told me her optic disc was large. Her glaucoma had damaged both of her optic nerves. She cried. I was devastated. They did laser at the hospital to open the trabecular meshwork drain and restore the flow, but the damage could not be undone. She could only see a little bit. This Indian doctor's name is Hadad and his office is on 90th street between park avenue and Lexington avenue in new York city. Incredibly they are allowing him to teach at the New York Medical College. His waiting room is full of certificates and other paperwork which speaks peanuts if his knowledge. Get does it only to impress the new people that are coming into his office. He has a long hallway when you e nter his office and at the end he has a one way mirror. You have to ring his door before they let you in. These were all red flags that I missed when I started bringing my poor grandmom to him. It was an aweful experience . I want to thank you for doing this video because with the internet many people will learn about glaucoma and it's dangers before it takes away their sight, the most precious of the five senses that we have that God gave us.

I walk by it many times a week, on some days I can easily see 20/20, then on other days I can't. I'm in my 60's, and active. Any tips, I'm asking because when I do the eye test at DMV, I would like to be at my best. Is it best to test in the morning or evening? tips like that, because I noticed my vision changes during a normal week.

People can have pressure from 11 - 21 and be normal, being 19 is not bad as you think, me I have pressure of 22-24 for the last few years, I dont have any damage thanks to God, and doctor decided to put me to drops for safety because my reading are always high. with drops I have reading now of 16-17. So, my suggestion is, if you are afraid or being at risk, take the drops to stay safe and protect your vision. Drops are not that bad for health. little side effects, not major.

Super video, thank you!! (1) humming has been shown to increase nitric oxide, and also nasal breathing increases nitric oxide as a lifestyle practice. (I read this in PubMed papers) (2) It could help to know exercise and cannabis are both temporary, but significant ways to temporarily lower eye pressure. (25% for cannabis, maybe more for exercise). As for cannabis, using it in a program that also uses greens, exercise, pristine diet , with proper eye pressure lowering and antiinflammatory supplements, plus seeing eye doc of course, could be the best way. I would hate to overlook the cannabis. maybe only before bed? Anyway, thanks for video, and comments/advice are welcome!

The strangest thing happened to me & I need some input if possible. I go with a friend to Doctor appointments because he cannot hear well & has a hard time understanding information. He was told he had cataracts, one eye needed surgery ASP & the other isn't bad enough for surgery. Ok, he had the surgery and did all his follow-ups/drops, etc.. We both thought he was good & just needed new glasses. Out of the blue, his eye surgeon told him, well you have to go to a glaucoma specialist also, not just an eyeglass doctor. Neither one of us heard of glaucoma during any of the visits.😳What or how did we miss this diagnosis unless that's why he had cataracts & it's caused by glaucoma? Why would a doctor leave that part out??!!!

[@crisalidathomassie1811]

He probably missed the exam for glaucoma. These are specific pictures of your eyes to see the back of your eye and how thick or thin the membrane is. I just had mine done a couple days ago. It has to do with the pressure of the eye. My case is only a suspicion, but I need to get ahead and follow a good diet and everything else recommended here. Best wishes, take care. Blessings.

[@shapienails3067]

@@crisalidathomassie1811 You had me thinking that suggestion over. So I checked into the surgeon's degrees. First off he is a specialist in eye diseases namely cataracts & glaucoma, this is on his web page - Ophthalmologists diagnose and treat eye diseases, including vision loss, detached retinas, cataracts, and glaucoma. They perform laser retina surgery, refractive surgery, and lens replacement operations. But I know for a fact he doesn't sell/provide eyeglasses. If nothing else you have me questioning " My Hearing" 🤣Maybe he's sending him to someone else that does both, so he doesn't have to bounce between.

I suggest you include bicycling as a high intensity exercise. I've been a road racing bicyclist since as was child. I'm retired from the US Army. And at almost 76 years old I still ride my old road racing bicycle in my garage for 30 minutes. I have it sitting on a trainer. No different than if I was riding it on a road. I do that in addition to exercises like kick boxing and self defense 5 days a week. I maintain a pace comparable to riding my bike on a road at about maybe 20 MPH By the time I finish my T-shirt is soaked in sweat. IMO most doctors confuse patients by comparing riding a bike to walking. But of course if you ride your bike as if you were doing it in slow motion you're wasting your time. IMO it's a matter of learning how to pedal the right way at the right cadence. If you don't think that's high intensity try it yourself on a road racing bike the way I do it. My point is I was diagnosed with glaucoma about 6 years ago. But my eye pressure thanks to my eye drops and my life style is within normal levels (15 - 16)

There are massage techniques (shiatsu/reflexology) that help lower pressure. It is demonstrated on plenty of vids here on youtube. I like to remove my regular eyeglasses when I'm outside so I can get a few minutes of full-spectrum sunlight (I don't Look at the sun of course, though that's a yoga technique --wouldn't risk it!!! But moderation is key.) I do know that when I used to drive all day in the sunny state of New Mexico, I got a triangular shaped "sunspot" on my cheek. I don't drive anymore, don't use sunblock, and the spot has gone away. I believe the filtered light is what throws things off balance.

Enlightening vid (and thank you), but instead of how to 'prevent' glaucoma, perhaps better to say ways to help minimise or reduce chances of getting glaucoma? Hereditary is a significant factor. Glaucoma has been present in my family for at least 3 generations. In spite of our cultural lifestyle, which is very much non-alcoholic & mostly plant- base. We are also principally tea-drinkers (decaffeinated tea is not in our vocabulary 😊). The older generation habitually took/takes daily genteel walks. The younger generation mostly rather active in sports, or simply enjoy jogging. With such family history, even those amongst us not diagnosed with glaucoma now have made a point of reminding each other to have at least an annual ocular examination.

[@jillorton3004]

I used to go every year for an eye exam - never thought anything about it as i never heard of anyone in my family with glaucoma. Then one day, during an annual exam, I was told my pressures were high and to go to an ophthalmologist. I did and my pressures were about 28. I insisted my two grown up children went for an exam, both had it! Now I have to go 3 times pa as the eyes are getting worse all the time.... I use 2 sorts of drops evening and one morning, walk most days, take vitamin supplements, bathe my eyes twice a day and don't know what else to do. Going blind was the last thing on my mind when I went for my check up. I definitely think glaucoma is heritary

INFLAMMATION! You can think you “eat healthy” but if you have inflammation, even low grade inflammation, it will be the catalyst to everything “bad” that happens to our bodies. I think many People don’t realize their “healthy diet and lifestyle” might not be the best for optimal health and might not be as healthy as they think. If you eat processed foods (and it can be difficult not to these days) it’s hard to not have inflammation. Don’t forget food sensitivities causing inflammation too. You might not even know!

Thanks for the video. I just subscribed to your channel. My question is if it is true to sleep in an upright position is better than sleeping on your side? Also, how sunlight can help or not your vision. Thanks so much for your guidance. My optometrist recently told me there is suspicion of glaucoma. So, I’m reaching out and educating myself about it. Looking forward to your response. I wish you the best. Blessings and take care.❤

Thanks for your excellent information. I am 75 have done eye exercises often also. I always eat berries especially blueberries, my eyes have been ok I have yearly checks with optometrist and she says good. I also have astragalus, a good herb to prevent glaucoma. I walk 1 hour still daily half an hour in morning and in evening. I have a lot of energy, l am on no medical drugs. I am a retired registered nurse and midwife and studied herbal medicine, Bowen therapy, remedial massage, and was in natural practice for many years. I hope good health continues. I also do meditation with my husband of 52 years regularly.

I do all these things and have Ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is genetic or injury related, not lifestyle related. Lifestyle can speed or slow progression but it’s unlikely to prevent it.
