    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.

    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,,,
