1) Avoid Caffeine
Recently, a scientific study looked at the effect of caffeine on eye fluid pressure (Ann Pharmacother, 2002;36:992-5).  Consuming decaffeinated and standard coffee (3.6 mg and 180 mg per 200 mL respectively) was compared.  Standard coffee caused a 3 mm Hg increase in eye pressure in one hour.  This magnitude of increase in eye pressure is clinically significant.  It should be noted that the amount of increase in eye pressure is dependent upon how much caffeine is consumed.  According to what we know, large amounts of caffeine are definitely not good for glaucoma.  We may debate whether or not small amounts of caffeine are acceptable but anyone suffering from the disease will be well served to consider avoiding all caffeine.  If caffeine is consumed, it could be limited to green or black tea having smaller amounts of caffeine and also have the benefit of flavonoids which are antioxidants having a good effect on the heart and eyes.

2) Gingko
There has been one double-blind, placebo regulated trial which indicated the use of gingko extract taken at 120 mg each day for eight weeks significantly improved eye-sight in persons with glaucoma.

3) Bilberry & Rutin
The last time I had an exam my eye pressure readings were on the high edge at 23 and 25.  I then went through all kinds of tests and they told me to come back in a month.  So I got on the internet and liked what I read about 1000 mg of Bilberry and 500 mg of Rutin each day.  Right away I started taking these and resumed rebounding for ten minutes every day as I seemed to recall in the back of my mind that rebounding was an aid to balancing fluids in the body.  A month later at my next exam, my pressure numbers were 16 and 18.  As you might guess the doctor would not admit that anything I had done had brought on the improvement. This is one of the best natural treatments for glaucoma.

4) Fennel as Natural Treatment for Glaucoma
Fennel is well known for treating problems with the eyes.  When snakes molt, the are blinded temporarily and will consume fennel to regain their eyesight.  Fennel can be eaten in its raw form or brewed into a tea which is then used as an eyewash.  This is a great natural treatment for glaucoma.
 
5) Jaborandi
Jaborandi (pilocarpus jaborandi) is a plant that grows in the Amazon basin.  In 1876 chemists succeeded in islolating the pilocarpine alkaloid which was then provided to doctors to use for the treatment of glaucoma. The combination of pilocarpine and another natural plant product, physostigmine, survives to this day as a commonly used ophthalmologic medicine.  Pilocarpine eye drops are still prescribed world wide as a glaucoma natural treatment.
