Good to hear. I’veeliminated that devil. ZERO coffee for me. I used to drink it like water
Best is to never drink any alcohol. Save your eyes, your life, and if driving save others. 🥰
Dr ..so the caffeine is the problem not the coffee?
Thank you Dr Pang i am so happy to have read your video on Glucoma as i have in both eyes i am 77 yrs old and i will take precautions especially my coffee intake Thank you Sir❤😅😅🎉
Most appreciated. Very helpful and will alter towards your suggestions. Your presentation is precise and to the point. Thank you for that.
Well done! I appreciate your informative video.
Excellent presentation, imformative and straightforward. Thank you.
In general most people should not drink more than 24 oz of water within an hour in order to avoid electrolyte issues.

Great information, thank you Dr
Thank you so much for this information. I was diagnosed with glaucoma recently. I like leafy greens, but not to excess, and dark leafy greens I can only eat cooked. I already drink at least two cups (14 oz mugs) of green tea every morning and eat lots of fruit. I'm going to try the Gingko, if it doesn't react with my lantanaprost. I do take vitamins, but only because I take other meds that affect absorption of some things like magnesium and zinc.
Great thank you.

Eat raw garlic cloves with your next meal. That will loosen up everything to allow maximum blood flow to the eyes and everything else.
WOW .... I guess that makes sense. How about hypertension, same thing.

Very good suggestions for glaucoma ,sorry for some negative comments....comprehension &knowledge is needed to decipher between FACT & FICTION.
1) coffee 2) water
Thank you, I finally see Cannabis actually does decrease eye pressure, so the best part is that it does not hurt. also good not to chug-a-lug the water, something we all love to do on a hot day!! And best of all, yummy greens. I also anticipate the studies coming out in next year or so, regarding if B3 vitamin can help slow optic damage. Great Video Dr. Pang!

What causes the glaucoma? The underlying causes the main thing to prevent like metabolic diseases or injuries. But, certain viruses like herpes shingles of the eye or anywhere that herpes lies dormant.

Doctor, in one side you recommend to drink caffeine-free coffee to not increase the pressure in eyes, but the other side you say that BLACK tea is good for glaucoma patients. You may be forgot, but black tea has much more caffeine in it then the coffee has. Am I not right?

Yes - tea is fine. Avoid coffee, both decaff or caffeinated - it is the coffee beans that raise the eye pressure. If you have to have coffee have it after a meal.
My glaucoma Doctor is a professor and he says it’s ok to have coffee. Not a lot, but a couple. As for water, it’s ok unless you go over the top.
Anyone catch the "Chemical" in tea? Sounds like fervanol or berbanol? Can't tell with the accent. Thx!

Everything has to be eaten in moderation because even too much fruit has too much sugar ! That could be dangerous for people with High blood pressure or a Diabetics. So i have to disagree with you on all of this. Many people know what they need to stay away from Thank you Doc. There are many comments from many different sources and Doctors.

He did scare me when he stated that alcohol has a neutral affect on glaucoma, but it has a tremendous affect on blood pressure, and both go hand in hand I would think. Don't metabolize alcohol into glucose and it metabolized fructose passes that brain barrier I would definitely say alcohol has a tremendous effect on the eyes, of people with metabolic diseases!?
Decaf coffee is not a good sub for caffeinated coffee. In the process of making coffee decaffeinated methylene chloride is used. This is is used in industrial processes like paint stripping, metal cleaning and degreasing and it is linked to cancer.

I think we know deep inside we don't need to even look it up that alcohol is it toxic drug to our bodies especially us women and it causes major inflammation and that we just know by proof living proof. And it causes dehydration so I don't see how it is a neutral affect no affects on glaucoma or any other related eye diseases

How I struggled with glaucoma after eye surgery... The exercise of closing the eyes helped, while we squeeze out excess fluid from the eyes, one different way... kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmeDlbato7HembQ.htmlsi=hmmAHTVOX6CKhicj Does anyone ever wonder why we rub our eyes? By doing this we equalize the pressure in the eyes and improve the nutrition of the blood vessels, but after surgery this cannot be done... The pressure in the eye is increased due to the spongy trauber network clogged with fibrous blood, which removes 85% of the fluid from the eyes into the Schlemm canal. This often happens after blood enters due to eye injuries, or eye surgery, sugar, poor diet, etc.. It is necessary to improve fluid drainage: 1 Improve rheology (fluidity...) diet, jars, leeches, etc. 2 Improve blood vessels (contrast shower!!!, vitamins and much more...) 3 Mechanically help remove fluid from the eyes (massage around the eyes to drain lymph..., alternately squeezing and squeezing out excess fluid if you can’t rub your eyes due to surgery or injury, etc.) I’ll add... In order for the blood to be “liquid”, proper nutrition is necessary!!!, without excess sweets, flour, potatoes, etc. Good outflow is helped by proper MASSAGE of the eyes and neighboring areas and neck. But it also helps a lot to close your eyes one by one!!! eye to gouge out!!! excess fluid from the eyes into the lymph through the trabecular meshwork (spongy tissue can be clogged with fibrous blood after surgery or injury), into Schlemm’s canal. Massage of the lymphatic vessels that drain fluid around the eyes and ears, as well as throughout the head, helps to prevent and treat GLAUCOMA!!! A daily contrast shower or at least applying a hot wet or cold cloth to the eyes to train the elasticity of the blood vessels around the eyes and the entire head helps. All this warns of GLAUCOMA, which is almost impossible to cure otherwise. Only if you put leeches to thin the blood. Regular cupping and cupping (hijama) also help to improve the rheology of blood and lymphatic fluid. Regular trips to the pool are very useful, because of the contrast shower, because of washing your face after diving, because of constantly closing your eyes, because of swimming and the work of large muscles that help the movement of lymph,,,
