Thread Name: Anyone here know about Glaucoma?
Subject: RE: Anyone here know about Glaucoma?
A friend of mine told me that taking vitamin C can ease the pressure from glaucoma. I asked the optician but he said he didn't know anything about it. At my last eye test he found a small pressure reading and I went back a few weeks later and it tested ok.

But, I find that if my eyes feel a bit off, i.e. a small pressure which is a bit uncomfortable, and I take a vitamin C tablet it tends to go away very quickly.

Obviously moderation would be the key - not overdoing the vitamin C. But, it is possibly more to do with stress, because that feeling in my eyes often coincides with feeling stressed - like a headache in my eyes, perhaps?

Any ideas?
