Tips to Prevent Glaucoma Naturally

Glaucoma is the world’s second leading cause of blindness. The damage it does to your optic nerve is related to increased pressure in your eye and leads to vision loss. In a healthy eye, the aqueous humor, the watery fluid that is naturally present in your eyeball, is regularly drained. To those with glaucoma the drainage system doesn’t work properly, so the fluid builds up in your eye, causing increased pressure, which causes nerve fibers that are essential to vision to die.

Anyone can be at risk especially those that are over 60 years old, with chronic diseases, with eye injuries, and have a family history of glaucoma.

Here are some tips to help prevent glaucoma:

•Take animal-based omega-3 fat supplement which contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which promotes healthy retinal function.
•Take lutein and zeaxanthin which are both important for your eyesight.
•Avoid trans fats which can interfere with omega-3 in your body.
•Eat dark-colored berries to prevent and reverse macular degeneration.
