In the conventional or allopathic system there is no cure for glaucoma. There are several types of topical medications that are used for the treatment of glaucoma which temporarily lowers the IOP (intra ocular pressure).The topical eye drops, gels or ointment may cause burning, stinging, or redness when instilled into the eye.
Once the topical medicines do not work to lower down the IOP, oral medicines (Timoptic, Xalatan or Alphagan) are given. Patients experience more side effects with the medications taken by mouth than with topical eye medications.
Laser treatment may be recommended when the oral and topical medicines do not work to lower the IOP. In the laser treatment eye inflammation is a common side effect.
In contrast homeopathic small, magical doses can combat the IOP as well as the further deterioration of the vision. Homeopathy medicines may be used alone or with the eye drops prescribed by the ophthalmologist. In that case, soon the need for the eye drops reduces and the patients are therefore exposed to lesser toxic effects of these medicines.
While prescribing a drug a complete history of the patient is taken which includes the medical history of the patient, physical and mental constitution and genetic predisposition to the disease. A properly prescribed homeopathic remedy can lower the progression of disease and in highly susceptible people can prevent the occurrence or prolong the onset of disease.
How homeopathy helps in glaucoma :
Homeopathic medicines improve the circulation and drainage of aqueous thus lowering the IOP.
Homeopathic remedies improve the blood supply to the eye.
Homeopathic treatment prevent the damage to the optic nerve if detected early. In cases where the deterioration has started homeopathic medicines slows the progression of disease and prevent the further damage to the optic nerve.
Homeopathic medicines can prevent the glaucoma in a genetically predisposed person.
Homeopathic remedies can save the other eye of the patient having glaucoma in one eye if the medicines are started on time.
Homeopathic treatment reduces the eye pains, redness and halos around the light.
Homeopathic medicines also control the associated symptoms of glaucoma like nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light.
There are 73 homoeopathy medicines which give great relief in glaucoma or ablepsia or amaurosis. However, the correct choice and the resulting relief is a matter of experience and right judgment on the part of the homeopathy physician. The treatment is decided after thorough case taking of the patient. Thus homeopathic remedies of glaucoma or ablepsia or amaurosis are tailor made unlike allopathy in which all patients receive the same surgery or drugs although trade name may be different.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases causing optic nerve damage. The optic nerve carries images from the retina, which is a specialized light sensing tissue helping us to see an object.
In glaucoma, eye pressure plays a role in damaging the delicate nerve fibers of the optic nerve. When a significant number of nerve fibers are damaged, blind spots develop in the field of vision. Once nerve damage and visual loss occur, it is permanent.
If the entire nerve is destroyed, it results in blindness. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the world, especially in older people.
Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness in the United States or America. Open angle glaucoma, the most common form of the disease, affects about 3 million Americans.
Open angle (chronic) glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma.
The cause is unknown. An increase in eye pressure occurs slowly over time. The pressure pushes on the optic nerve and the retina at the back of the eye.
Open angle glaucoma tends to run in families. Your risk is higher if you have a parent or grandparent with open angle glaucoma. People of African descent are at particularly high risk for this disease.
Angle closure (acute) glaucoma occurs when the exit of the aqueous humor fluid is suddenly blocked. This causes a quick, severe, and painful rise in the pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure).
Angle closure glaucoma is an emergency. This is very different from open angle glaucoma, which painlessly and slowly damages vision.
If you have had acute glaucoma in one eye, you are at risk for an attack in the second eye.
Congenital glaucoma often runs in families (is hereditary).
It is present at birth.
It results from the abnormal development of the fluid outflow channels in the eye.
A diagnosis of glaucoma no longer simply relies on the presence of pressure within the eye. It requires that there be optic nerve damage or a strong suggestion of damage, which can be clearly seen during a dilated eye examination of the optic nerve.
In general, the hallmark sign of this condition is a loss of peripheral vision. With peripheral vision loss, a person can see in front of him or herself but has lost the vision to the side.
Eliminate all suspected food allergens, including dairy (milk, cheese, and eggs), wheat (gluten), soy, corn, preservatives and food additives. Your health care provider may want to test you for food allergies.
Eat more antioxidant rich foods (such as green, leafy vegetables and peppers) and fruits (such as blueberries, tomatoes, and cherries).
Avoid refined foods, such as white breads, pastas, and sugar.
Eat fewer red meats and more lean meats, cold-water fish, tofu (soy, if no allergy) or beans for protein.
Use healthy oils in foods, such as olive oil or vegetable oil.
Reduce or eliminate trans fatty acids, found in such commercially baked goods as cookies, crackers, cakes, french fries, onion rings, donuts, processed foods, and margarine.
Avoid coffee and other stimulants, alcohol, and tobacco.
