Question:
Has anyone had any luck with alternative medicine in the relief of high intraocular pressures?
I would like to know if there is any herbal products that can perhaps inmprove the visual field. Has anyone had any luck with any products?? I have low tension glaucoma and continue to lose sight. The dr. cannot get my pressures low enough with eye drops to prevent this. I am hoping to avoid surgery because I know that is not a for sure thing either. Thanks!!
Answer:
Natural remedies should not be used in place of conventional treatment for glaucoma, there are a number of herbal and homeopathic remedies that can help prevent the disorder and possible slow it down.
Burdock is one such help that has excellent eye-cleansing and detoxifying properties and is very beneficial when trying to treat eye infections. Rosemary also comes highly recommended for a number of eye problems as it has strong anti-inflammatory properties as well as the ability to help relieve pain. Chelidonium majus and Meadow Sweet can also be used to help promote healing of the eye and to reduce pain and inflammation.
