How Elevated Eye Pressure And Glaucoma Can Damage Your Eyesight And Life! FACT: The World Health Organization reports that glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world. And blindness ranked third (behind cancer and heart disease) as people's major fear. FACT: An estimated 4 million Americans have glaucoma but only half know they have it. (1) FACT: Glaucoma accounts for 9% to 12% of all cases of blindness in the U.S. and approximately 120,000 people in the U.S. are blind due to glaucoma. (2) FACT: The total number of glaucoma cases world wide is estimated to be about 65 million. (3) FACT: Glaucoma accounts for over 7 million visits to physicians every year. (1 ) FACT: In terms of Social Security Benefits, lost income tax revenues, and health care expenditures the cost of glaucoma to the U.S. government is estimated to be over $1.5 billion annually. (4) FACT: Although there is no cure (yet) for glaucoma, you can halt and even improve vision loss with proper medical and natural intervention. Sources: (1) Prevent Blindness America (2) National Eye Health Program/National Institutes of Health (3) Quigley "Number of people with glaucoma worldwide." 1996 (4) NEI, Report of the Glaucoma Panel, Fall 1998 What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is an eye disease that gradually and permanently damages the optic nerve. The optic nerve is the link between your eyes and your brain. It transmits the images the eye receives to the visual cortex of the brain. Damage to the optic nerve is typically caused by the fluid pressure inside your eye being too high (usually around 20 mmHg). The damage can also be caused by insufficient blood flow to the eye. Healthy
Eye Glaucoma
Eye The goal of an effective glaucoma treatment plan is to lower the fluid pressure (i.e., your intra-ocular eye pressure) and improve the blood flow and circulation to your eye. NOTE: Research has shown the eight natural nutrients discussed on this website can reduce intra-ocular pressure while providing a host of additional health benefits. 10 Simple Ways To Keep Your Eyes Healthy Starting Today 1. Wear sunglasses. Wearing sunglasses is one of the best things you can do to protect the health of your eyes. Sunglasses help you in two important ways: They reduce the total amount of light reaching the eye and, in particular, protect the eye from the damaging ultraviolet (UV) part of the spectrum. Long-term exposure to UV rays can lead to various forms of eye damage including cataracts, macular degeneration, or skin cancer around the eyelids. The New York Times noted that "special-purpose sunglasses that block at least 99 percent of UVB and a minimum of 60 percent UVA rays are the optimal sunglasses for people at risk for cataracts. Ideally they should have the Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation for Sunglasses." 2. Wear safety glasses when appropriate. Always wear safety glasses when working around potentially dangerous conditions. Over 2,000 eye injuries occur every day at work. Over 5,000 eye injuries per year occur to people working in their yards! Using the proper protective eyewear is an important way to minimize the risk of injury. According to Prevent Blindness America... "The type of safety eye protection you should wear depends on the hazards in your workplace. If you are working in an area that has particles, flying objects, or dust, you must at least wear safety glasses with side protection (side shields). If you are working with chemicals, you should wear goggles. If you are working near hazardous radiation (welding, lasers, or fiber optics) you must use special-purpose safety glasses, goggles, face shields, or helmets designed for that task." 3. Pay attention to your nutrition. It seems like you can't turn on the TV or open a newspaper lately without hearing about nutritional breakthroughs. All the latest vision research has been about how nutrition (what you eat and drink) affects your eyes. Omega-3s, in particular, have been called “the miracle food of the 21st century”. These omega-3s not only help protect against cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration—even dry eyes—but also boost overall cardiovascular health. There are also 17 different vitamins, minerals, and supplements shown to support and maintain clear and healthy eyesight. Lutein, Bilberry, Ginkgo-Biloba, and Vitamin C, are crucial nutrients... just to name a few. 4. Exercise your eyes. Just as you exercise your body at the gym or practice yoga in order to improve muscle tone, agility, range of motion, and flexibility, so too do the eyes benefit from daily exercise. 5. Follow the "10-10-10" rule. Near-point activities like computer use and reading are reported by the American Optometric Association as one of the leading causes of vision loss. In fact, computer use can be so damaging to the eyes, there is a name for it: Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Among the symptoms of CVS are tired and sore eyes, headaches, dry and red eyes, slowness in changing the focus of your eyes, periodic blurred near vision, and occasional blurred distance vision. It can even cause permanent vision damage. Luckily, there are a few simple habits that you can perform throughout your day that can prevent these problems and further vision loss. Every time you are performing close vision work for over 10 consecutive minutes, look up and focus on anything that is at least 10 feet away, for at least 10 seconds. This vision break—called the "10-10-10" rule—is one of the most effective ways to combat CVS. 6. Stop smoking. One of the most important things you can do to save your vision is quit smoking. Smoking is a risk factor for many eye conditions, including: Cataracts: There is conclusive evidence that smoking causes nuclear cataracts. Recent reviews have found smokers’ risk of developing nuclear cataracts to be up to 2.9 times that of those who have never smoked. Glaucoma: Smoking causes shrinkage or constriction of blood vessels, which is directly linked to rising inner eye pressure that can lead to glaucoma and optic nerve damage. Graves’ ophthalmopathy: This condition, often associated with thyroid disease, disrupts muscle control of the eye; smoking has been shown to increase the risk of developing thyroid disease. Diabetic retinopathy: While smoking may not directly cause diabetic retinopathy, most experts agree that quitting smoking helps stop progression of the disease. Age-related macular degeneration: Two studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association examined the association between cigarette smoking and the incidence of ARMD. Smoking more than a pack per day increased the risk of developing ARMD by approximately 2.5 times when compared to non-smokers. 7. Use precaution with eye makeup. Using cautions and following a few simple tips when it comes to eye makeup may save you from pinkeye, corneal damage—or worse. * Wash
your hands before applying eye
cosmetics. Bacteria on your
hands could be transferred to
your eyes, causing an
infection. * Make
sure that any instrument (for
example, brushes, wands,
eyelash curlers) you place near
the eye area is clean. * Don't
use old eye cosmetics. Replace
cosmetics every six months to
avoid excess contamination with
bacteria. * Never
use an old applicator in a
fresh cosmetic product. The
applicator will transfer
bacteria to the new
product. * After
any eye infection, such as
conjunctivitis (pinkeye), buy
fresh eye makeup. * Keep
eyeliner pencils sharpened so
that the rough wood casing
won't scratch the eye or
eyelid. * Don't
apply makeup in a A mascara wand or eye pencil (or even a fingernail) can abrade the cornea, causing an infection that could lead to a potentially blinding corneal ulcer. 8. Stay hydrated. It might not seem like it, but water is the most necessary nutrient of all. People can't survive for more than a few days without it. Water is needed to regulate body temperature and carry nutrients to all our organs. Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects our joints and organs. Inadequate lubrication of your eyes can be caused by dehydration which may lead to irritated, red, itchy eyes and decreased visual acuity. Symptoms of mild dehydration include chronic joint and muscle pain, lower back pain, headaches, and constipation. You need to drink water long before you feel thirsty. How much water is enough? A good estimate is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water that you need to drink per day. For example, if you weigh 120 pounds, you should drink at least 60 ounces of water per day. 9. Stay away from caffeine. If you've been diagnosed with high eye pressure or glaucoma, you may want to reconsider that second cup of coffee. A recent study in Annals of Pharmacotherapy reported that just 1 cup of coffee can elevate eye pressure by up to 3mm hg, which is significant enough to warrant concern. The study was based off of a consumption of 180 mg of caffeine, which is about what a 12 ounce cup of coffee contains. The evidence doesn't necessarily suggest strict avoidance of caffeine, just a moderation of intake. Drinks containing 50mg of caffeine or less were suggested. 10. Reduce stress. It seems just about every ailment known of is linked to stress in one way or another. And who isn't stressed these days? But did you know there's evidence that stress can increase your eye-pressure by up to 3 times normal levels? One of the best ways to relieve stress is exercise. Not to mention the hundreds of health benefits that exercise also provides. So next time you've reached your boiling point, hit the pavement, start pedaling, or release your frustrations on that old punching bag in the garage! How These Natural Nutrients Reduce Eye Pressure and Improve Glaucoma Scientific research has shown the eight nutrients discussed on this website may provide the following benefits to people suffering with glaucoma... * Intra-ocular pressure may be lowered and controlled. Thus allowing the optic nerve to heal. * Color visual fields and sensitivity may be improved. * The neurons of the eyes may be spared premature and undue injury. * Vision loss can be managed and even stopped from continuing. * Blood flow to the eyes is increased bringing in fresh nutrients to keep the eyes healthy. * The fine muscles of the eyes may be strengthened so they contract properly. * Focusing power can be greatly improved which puts less stress on the eyes. * Eyes are kept moist and helped to adjust to light changes. * Night vision may be enhanced. * Additional health benefits may be experienced.

This was not supposed to happen to her. Yet, there she stood almost speechless as the optometrist gave her the bad news.
She didn't know that for some time - perhaps over the course of many years - her eyes were slowly deteriorating. She couldn't believe it because...
She
didn't
even notice a
problem with her eyes at
first.
More recently, Jo Ann felt unusual pain. Prompting her to get an exam. The results were grim. Glaucoma... and... a hemorrhage was found in her right eye.
Her optometrist made an appointment for Jo Ann to see an eye physician and surgeon. The appointment was set for three months from the original diagnosis. Which was in March.
In the meantime, she felt scared and uncertain. But something compelled her to take action while waiting.
Because, if left alone, the situation could have gotten worse quickly. Robbing her eyesight. Turning Jo Ann into another statistic: One of the 120,000 Americans who go blind due to glaucoma each year.
Maybe Jo Ann would have lucked out. Instead of total blindness, the glaucoma might have only diminished part of her vision. Leaving her able to see with great difficulty. Not handicapped but a burden nonetheless on her friends and family.
Or, at the very least, she would be forced to take doctor prescribed drugs - with all sorts of horrible side effects - for the rest of her life.
Lucky for her, things worked out a little different because...
Jo Ann did some research and came across a little-known...
Natural remedy for
glaucoma
sufferers.
Since this natural remedy is safe, effective and cheap, she decided to take it. After all, she figured it could not hurt.
On the day of her appointment, Jo Ann went through a battery of tests.
The results were amazing.
After using this natural remedy for only three months, the doctor had some good news...
... her right eye was now only borderline glaucoma.
... the hemorrhage had cleared up.
... her left eye was perfect.
The doctor decided to see Jo Ann again in six months. Because the glaucoma was only borderline.
When she went back, the same battery of tests were done.
The doctor was impressed. Because the eye pressure Jo Ann suffered from was normal and stable.
Best part: Jo Ann didn't do anything drastic to improve her glaucoma condition.
... she did not take any medication.
... she did not use any prescription drops.
... she did not undergo surgery.
Jo Ann just made a few simple diet changes. And took this natural remedy - two little tablets containing eight nutrients research shows may help improve eyesight and protect against the ravages of glaucoma - on a daily basis.
Now, almost two years later, everything is still looking good. No more eye pain. No additional complications. The glaucoma is under control.
The benefits don't stop there.
Because these nutrients did more than just halt Jo Ann's vision loss. They helped ensure her eyes would work properly... and... stay as healthy as possible for the rest of her life. In fact, by taking these nutrients on a daily basis...
* Visual fields and visual sensitivity may be enhanced. Colors look brighter and sharper. Blurry vision can be replaced by clarity.
* Damage to the neurons in the cells of the eyes can be reduced. The optic nerve may regain strength as the swelling in the affected area goes down.
* Eyesight may be improved even as you age. Soar, tired and overstrained eyes can feel energized once again.
* Intra-ocular pressure (one of the main causes of glaucoma) can be lowered to manageable levels.
* Greater focusing power can be experienced. Headaches and dizziness may be reduced and even eliminated.
* Night vision can become clearer. Allowing you to see the road and drive safely.
* Fear and uncertainty can give way to confidence. Because now many related vision problems may be prevented before they occur.
These natural nutrients are improving Jo Ann's eyesight... and... they could be improving yours, too.
You might be wondering what these special nutrients are. In a moment, I'll reveal them one by one.
And the scientific benefits of each.
First, I think it's important that you understand something: Statistics indicate 90% of those who receive treatment for glaucoma stop further vision loss.
In addition, you should know medical research shows nutrition plays a big (very big) role in vision health.
While this may sound obvious most people simply don't know the facts.
What's more, eye doctors hardly ever discuss the role of nutrition and its effects on eyesight. They overlook the obvious and almost always search for another solution.
Like medications, prescription drops or worse of all surgery.
There are various medications available to lower eye pressure your doctor can prescribe. You may be taking one now.
These medicines are extremely important for anyone diagnosed with elevated eye pressure or glaucoma... and... should be taken as directed so your eye pressure can be lowered as quickly as possible.
Of course, each of these treatment protocols has its place. The worse your condition the more likely you'll have to concede to more radical medical intervention.
However, whether you have taken doctor prescribed eye medication for years... or... just found out you might have glaucoma... or... want a natural way to support healthy vision... then... these nutrients may be the answer to saving your eyesight.
Scientific research shows they may reduce intra-ocular pressure, alleviate the effects of glaucoma... and... improve vision.
Here they are...
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Alpha-Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant that prevents or impedes cell oxidation or destruction by free radicals.
It has been called the "ideal antioxidant" because it is both water and fat soluble.
Which means it penetrates tissues composed mainly of fat like the nervous system... or... tissues made mainly of water like the heart.
In 1951, scientists - including the former chair of biochemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Irwin C. Gunsalus - isolated and characterized the compound alpha-lipoic acid.
There are many benefits of this versatile nutrient. Which is found naturally in red meat and some plants.
According to Richard A. Passwater, Ph.D. - in his book Lipoic Acid: The Metabolic Antioxidant - this amazing substance...
* protects the body's genetic material...
* slows down the aging process...
* regulates blood sugar...
* keeps the nervous system strong...
* may help in nerve regeneration...
For 30 years, doctors in Europe have used this nutrient to treat diabetic neuropathy.
In addition, an alpha-lipoic acid therapy has been effective in treating people exposed to radiation. Such as children living near the site of the horrible nuclear accident at Chernobyl in the former Soviet Union.
As you can see, alpha-lipoic acid has numerous reported health benefits including the following for people with glaucoma...
Glaucoma Research: Three distinct benefits of using alpha-lipoic acid directly impact people suffering from glaucoma...
* Enhancement of color visual fields and visual sensitivity.
* Improved visual function.
* Reduction in neuronal damage in the eyes.
Researchers report the following...
"In a study of open angle glaucoma patients who received 150mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid each day, 45-47% of the eyes had enhancement of color visual fields and visual sensitivity when compared to controls using only topical medical therapy. More advanced cases had an even better response compared to their controls."

"Pretreatment with alpha lipoic acid has been found to reduce neuronal damage from excitotoxic damage from cyanide, glutamate and iron ions, demonstrating a strong neuroprotective effect for neural tissue."
- J Cereb Blood Flow Metab 1995 Jul;15(4):624-30
Lutein and Zeaxanthin
Both lutein and zeaxanthin are naturally occurring carotenoids within the macular region of the retina.
They act as antioxidants protecting the eyes from oxidative stress... and... high energy light.
The concentration of these two nutrients is so high in the macula - the retinal area which is responsible for fine visual activities - that the carotenoids are visible as a dark yellow spot, called the macular pigment, in normal, healthy retinas. They act like sunglass filters to protect the eyes.
Evidence suggests that the combination of these two nutrients helps to protect against age-related macular degeneration or ARMD.
ARMD affects an estimated 1.2 million people in America.
A 6 year study - done by the National Eye Institute in Maryland - supports the findings that these two nutrients do indeed protect against blindness.
Further research reveals that increasing intake of lutein and zeaxanthin lowers the risk of developing cataracts.
Since these nutrients are naturally occurring, good sources include: kale, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, zucchini, spinach, peppers and brussels sprouts among others.
Extensive studies have been done on both nutrients... and... the FDA has reviewed them as dietary ingredients.
The bottom line is this: Luetin and zeaxanthin are critical to eye health.
Glaucoma Research: In 1994, Science News reported the findings of several studies indicating the affects of these nutrients on glaucoma... including...
* Slowing down vision loss.
* Improving eyesight.
"Several studies have shown that lutein and zeaxanthin supplements may slow vision loss in glaucoma, and in some cases improve eyesight."
- Science News, Volume 146, 1994
Ginkgo Bilboa
The ginkgo is the oldest living tree species, growing on earth for 150-200 million years.
No surprise, then, it's one of the most well-researched herbs in the world.
Studies confirm ginkgo is a powerful antioxidant. It increases blood flow to the retina and slows down retinal deterioration. The result is an increase of visual acuity.
Ginkgo bilboa has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years.
Today, millions of people around the world take various forms of this nutrient. Because it has been shown to have the following health benefits...
* improves blood flow and microcirculation to small capillaries such as those in the eyes...
* protects against oxidative cell damage from free radical activity...
* prevents blood clotting and platelets from sticking together...
In addition, ginkgo may improve thinking, learning and memory. And numerous other cognitive functions in young and old alike.
Glaucoma Research: Studies indicate ginkgo bilboa is beneficial for those with glaucoma in two specific ways...
* Significantly improving visual field indices.
* Helping people with normal tension glaucoma.
"Twenty seven patients with bilateral visual field damage resulting from normal tension glaucoma received 120 mg of ginkgo extract (40 mg, 3x daily) for 4 weeks, followed by a wash-out period of 8 weeks, then 4 weeks of placebo treatment. Other patients underwent the same regimen, but took the placebo first and ginkgo last.
Visual field tests, performed at baseline and at the end of each phase of the study, were evaluated for changes in visual field and any ocular or systemic complications.
After ginkgo treatment, a significant improvement in visual field indices was observed. No significant changes were found in intraocular pressure, blood pressure, or heart rate after placebo or ginkgo treatment.
The investigators concluded that Ginkgo biloba is a useful therapy for some patients with normal tension glaucoma. An accompanying editorial in Ophthalmology points out that the mechanisms of ginkgo are plausible, and that the beneficial effects were not maintained in this study after discontinuation of ginkgo treatment. Both of these observations lend credence to the findings."

- Quaranta L et al. Effect of Ginkgo biloba extract on preexisting visual field damage in normal tension glaucoma. Opthalmol 110:359-62 (discussion 362-4), 2003.
"Forty-six patients, some with severe visual field disturbances, and some with serious retinal vascular degeneration, were given 160 mg/day Ginkgo extract for four weeks, then 120 mg/day. Progress was assessed monthly by measuring visual acuity, visual fields, fundoscopic exam, IOP, blood pressure, and pulse rate.
Although only mild improvements were noted, these were deemed relevant due to the severity of the ocular damage at the beginning of the study."

Glutathione
Glutathione is an antioxidant.
It protects the tissues surrounding the lens of the eyes. According to Web MD, "It also has potentially widespread health benefits because it can be found in all types of cells, including the cells of the immune system, whose job is to fight disease."
Numerous studies link glutathione with the prevention of cataracts, glaucoma, retinal disease, and diabetic blindness.
This amazing nutrient has other important jobs such as...
* maintaining the normal function of the immune system...
* flushing toxins - like free radicals - out of cells...
* metabolizing certain non-essential amino acids which can damage cells...
* allowing the body to recycle its antioxidant supplies...
* repairing cellular damage caused by stress, pollution, radiation, infection and aging...
Glaucoma Research: The good news for glaucoma sufferers is glutathione plays a major role in...
* Detoxifying the aqueous fluid of the inner eye. Which helps to maintain fluid outflow.
* Reducing ocular pressure.
A Harvard University group investigated different GSH-related compounds to increase the outflow of fluid from the eye and reduce pressure within it.
In combination with the topical form of ethacrynic acid (a diuretic) they found that cysteine, glutathione and N-acetylcysteine (a pharmaceutical that boosts glutathione) all benefited eye pressure and even lessened the side effects of the drug.
Chromium
Circa 1957, scientists discovered a compound in brewer's yeast that helped to prevent age-related decline in blood sugar levels of rats.
Chromium - a trace element humans need in small amounts - was identified as the active ingredient in this compound.
Since then this micronutrient has been studied intensely.
Numerous scientific studies show that chromium...
* helps in the metabolism and storage of carbohydrates, proteins and fats...
* regulates blood sugar levels and may even be useful in treating diabetes...
* allows muscles - such as the fine muscles of the eyes - to contract properly...
Good sources of chromium include broccoli, meat, fish, poultry, whole grains and potatoes.
Dr. Benjamin C. Lane, O.D., from the Nutritional Optometry Institute in New Jersey, says, “Americans are getting less chromium and much more of its major antagonist, vanadium (a trace element) because of recent dietary trends to large marine fish and poultry.”
Dr. Lane has done tissue testing and diet assessments for over twenty years and has found, in a number of studies, that “low levels of chromium are a major risk factor for increased intraocular pressure.” This is due to the fact that chromium plays such a big role in helping muscles contract.
Dr. Lane has also observed that because so many of us are doing much more close work with computers, “the set of muscles we use more than ever before, are those that help focus our eyes.”
He has conducted several studies that have shown straining to focus over a period of time, does in fact increase intraocular pressure.
But with proper amounts of chromium in your diet, focusing may be easier and less stressful to your eyes.
Glaucoma Research: Chromium is an important trace nutrient for those who have glaucoma because it...
* Enables the eyes to focus without straining.
* Helps to reduce intra-ocular pressure.
"Chromium is a glucose-uptake insulin-receptor potentiator which is thought to enable sustained strong ciliary-muscle eye-focusing activity. A deficiency is associated with elevated intraocular pressure which tends to stretch the eye to reduce the need for focusing power.
Primary open-angle glaucoma appears to be strongly associated with erythrocyte chromium deficiency. In fact, erythrocyte chromium is the most significant biochemical differentiator between normals and persons with primary open-angle glaucoma.
Clinically it appears that patients who are likely to respond to chromium repletion are likely to have undrugged intraocular pressures of more than 20 mm Hg as well as erythrocyte chromium levels of no more than 150 ng/ml."
-Lane BC. Diet and the glaucomas. Abstract. J Am Coll Nutr 10(5):536, 1991
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble (gets into fatty tissues of the body) and essential nutrient to human life.
Two Dutch chemists - David Adriaan van Dorp and Josef Ferdinand Arens - first synthesized Vitamin A in 1947.
It is found naturally in many foods such as carrots, broccoli leaves, liver and spinach. And it plays a vital role in the human body...
* helps the retina to work properly...
* improves immune function...
* bolsters antioxidant activity...
Glaucoma Research: Vitamin A is absolutely essential for eye and vision health. In our bodies, vitamin A is required by the retina for its proper functions.
Vitamin A is necessary for the production of rhodopsin, the visual pigment used in low light levels. One of the causes of night blindness is vitamin A deficiency.
Thus, vitamin A supplements are often recommended for those with poor night vision... along with... a diet emphasizing Vitamin A-rich foods.
Vitamin A also...
* Helps your eyes adjust to light changes.
* Moistens the eyes to enhance visual acuity.
* May prevent the forming of cataracts.
*May also help prevent blindness from macular degeneration.
"A deficiency of vitamin A is known to be associated with night blindness and loss of color vision. Although it has not been shown to produce glaucoma, one researcher found normalization of intraocular tension in several patients (believed to be vitamin A-deficient due to objective loss of color vision) following supplementation."
-Todd, GP. Nutrition, Health & Disease. Norfolk Beach, Virginia, The Donning Company, 1985
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is another critical nutrient for good overall and specifically for eye health.
As early as the mid-1500's, people were using foods high in vitamin C content - like limes and oranges - to prevent illnesses such as scurvy.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi and his Hungarian research team isolated ascorbic acid in 1933. He received the 1937 Nobel Prize in medicine for the discovery of vitamin C.
While most animals produce their own vitamin C humans cannot. Humans also can not store this vitamin in our bodies for very long. So it must be constantly replenished to reap its many benefits.
As an antioxidant, its role is to lessen oxidative stress on the cells of our body.
Glaucoma Research: Vitamin C's importance to vision health cannot be overstated. The Web site All About Vision even calls this vitamin the "Vision Superhero"!
It has been linked to the prevention of cataracts... and... delaying the onset of macular degeneration.
For glaucoma its main benefit is the...
* Reduction of eye pressure in glaucoma patients.
"Large doses of Vitamin C have been shown in several studies to lower intraocular pressure through several mechanisms, including increased blood osmolarity, decreased aqueous production, improved outflow and collagen support."
-Acta Ophthalmology Scand, 1969.
"Studies show patients can reduce their eye pressure by five to seven millimeters with an improved diet and supplement program. In general, a diet high in betacarotene, vitamins C and E, and sulfur-bearing amino acids are recommended.
A lower vitamin C intake has been associated with significantly higher intraocular pressure. Moreover, one study found that primary open-angle glaucoma was strongly associated with an inadequate daily ascorbic acid intake."
- Lane BC. Diet and the glaucomas. Abstract. J Am Coll Nutr 10(5):536, 1991
"Supplementation with vitamin C is believed to increase aqueous humor drainage by reducing the viscosity of hyaluronic acid. Most studies, some of which were controlled, have found the supplement to successfully reduce intraocular pressure."
- Liu KM et al. Inhibition of oxidative degradation of hyaluronic acid by uric acid. Curr Eye Res 3(8):1049-53, 1984
"In one report, a single dose of 500 mg/kg ascorbic acid reduced intraocular pressure in all of 39 patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma by an average of 16 mm Hg -- although it usually caused gastrointestinal symptoms. Also, ascorbic acid 100 to 150 mg/kg 3 to 5 times daily resulted in almost normal intraocular pressures in 15 out of 16 patients by 45 days, some of whom were uncontrollable with acetazolamide and 2% pilocarpine, with only 3 to 4 days of gastrointestinal symptoms initially."

nutritional support
for

Let's face facts: These eight nutrients are important to anyone suffering from elevated eye pressure or glaucoma. Unless you're getting them in your body - in the right amounts - your eyes may be suffering the unintended consequences.
Until recently, getting the full benefits of these miracle nutrients was difficult and expensive. Very expensive. Why? I'm glad you asked.
Because the answer is simple...
You'd have to take time out of your busy day... drive down to the supermarket... pick through a number of fruits, vegetables and other foods... fight long lines at the check-out counter... and then... after recovering from seeing the huge food bill (probably around $300 extra per month)... come home and scarf down about 10,000 calories.
Unless you're Michael Phelps - he won 8 gold medals in swimming at the last Summer Olympics... and... is said to consume from 10,000 to 16,000 calories a day - eating this much would be impossible.
What's that you say? Instead of gorging on food you have a better plan? Taking the supplement form of each of these nutrients?
Then you must be rich... and... have a lot of time on your hands.
Because at an average of $20 - $30 per bottle you'd spend about $240 per month on supplements alone. Not to mention popping pills all day long. Who wants to do that?
The expense and inconvenience of getting these nutrients into the diet prevent many glaucoma sufferers from enjoying their benefits.
But now there's a cheap and easy solution. Thanks to Ocu-Plus Formula tablets from Rebuild Your Vision you can get all the nutrients needed to help improve your vision.
Many people are calling it "the single best source of nutritional support for your eyes."
The Rebuild Your Vision Ocu-Plus Formula not only contains all 8 of the vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements that are important in reducing eye pressure, it also contains 10 other nutrients designed specifically to support clear, healthy vision and the function of your eyes.
How the Rebuild Your Vision
Ocu-Plus Formula
helps glaucoma sufferers...
* Provides the nutrients needed (based on scientific research) that may help lower your intra-ocular eye pressure - the root cause of glaucoma.
* Improves vision health by providing your eyes key nutrients to support a healthy visual system.
* Enhances your color visual fields.* Promotes better visual function.
* Protects your eyes from damage caused by high intra-ocular pressure and glaucoma.
* Prevents vision loss by reducing neuronal damage of the eyes.
* Gives you peace of mind because your eyes are now getting the nutrients needed to operate as close to 100% as possible.
Here's something else you should know...
The nutrients in the Rebuild Your Vision Ocu-Plus Formula are of the highest quality. I'm talking about 100% natural. No synthetic ingredients whatsoever. Which means your body can process and use them effectively and efficiently.
You see, the type of nutrients a supplement contains is only one factor. The other is the source of these nutrients.
Most supplement manufacturers cut corners. They just use the cheapest or most readily available form of these nutrients. The problem is - if the nutrients don't have the highest bioavailability possible - your body won't be able to assimilate, process and use them.
You end up spending good money on a product your body just flushes out. With no real benefit to you.
The Rebuild Your Vision Ocu-Plus Formula is different. Not only do you get all the vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements your eyes need... but... you also get...
The
highest quality source
of these nutrients.
So your body can process and use them to nourish and protect your eyes. In other words, you get the best of both worlds.
The Rebuild Your Vision Ocu-Plus Formula complies with all FDA rules and regulations. It is manufactured in the United States under strict C.G.M.P. certification (Current Good Manufacturing Practices). You can be confident it's a safe and healthy supplement.
By the way, before you buy any supplement, it's a good idea to read the label. Because that's the only way to know what you're getting.
Here's the actual label from the Rebuild Your Vision Ocu-Plus Formula. Read it over. You'll see exactly what nutrients it contains:
People with elevated eye pressure and glaucoma sufferers using the Ocu-Plus Formula swear it's saving their eyes!

People using the Ocu-Plus Formula are singing its praises. But don't take my word for it. Look at what they say...
"The bottom line is that the Ocu-Plus Formula had improved my (glaucoma) condition..." In the
meantime, my optometrist made
an appointment with an eye
physician and surgeon for me.
The appointment took place in
March 2007--three
months from my original
diagnosis. As
soon as my Formula arrived, I
started taking it along with
making a few dietary
changes. Jo Anne Richer, Toronto, ON |
"Low and
behold, I was diagnosed
with glaucoma in my right
eye. I was shocked. I was
really glad that I had
made the decision to order
the Ocu-Plus Formula.Her doctor tells her “whatever you were taking has helped, especially in the last year.” 
Click the play button to hear an audio clip of what MaryClare had to say. “I have a folder titled "My Eyes" that I started putting all the receipts and prescriptions for my glasses into beginning in 1989. This morning I went in to see Dr. Reynolds (I have only been seeing him for about 2 years now) and I told him how I wanted him to go through the records and see if Ocu-plus is helping my vision. I then described Ocu-plus from what I knew and asked him to verify if he could discern improvement in vision from the records. He was a little amused at first, but as he went through all the records his attitude changed. I didn't completely understand all his descriptions and technical words but the gist of it was definitely, whatever you were taking has helped, especially in the last year.” Maryclare Hall, Edmonton, CA |
"I can see
the clock radio and
actually “I have been taking the
Ocu-Plus Formula for
several months now and am
very pleased with the
results... I can see the
clock radio and actually
read it in the morning, I
can unlock my combination
lock on my locker at
work...not as well as I
would like, but it is
obviously helping me and I
intend to continue the
routine. Thanks for all you
do.”
Chuck Anderson, Olympia, WA |
"My eyes also look very shiny and feel healthy. They don't feel tired and sore now..." I went back to my doctor after I began taking Ocu-Plus and he said my eye pressure was down. I was so over the moon I can hardly remember the rest of my visit! I'm telling lots of people about them." Sue Barker, Herts, GB |
"Within
a few days of taking the
Ocu-Plus Formula my eyes
felt better. I don't have
Glaucoma, but do have high
pressure in the both eyes.
I can feel they are more
comfortable. I used to not
be able to be on the
computer for very long,
but now I am fine. My eyes
also look very shiny and
feel healthy. They don't
feel tired and sore now. "The symptoms have considerably lessened. I feel a great deal of improvement compared to when I first learned that I have glaucoma." 
audio clip of what Perla had to say. "I am a QA analyst and my job requires me to work on computers 7.5 hours a day. Last November, I was having blurry vision, headache and dizziness for days, so I decided to go to an optometrist after work. I was thinking that maybe he would only prescribe glasses, but I was shocked to find out that I have glaucoma. He said that the back of my eye was three times larger than normal and that my eyes were overstrained. He prescribed the use of reading glasses whenever I work on the computer. I could not readily go to a specialist as it takes months to get an appointment. I was feeling really frustrated, so I tried to find a remedy that I think would alleviate my condition. Luckily, I discovered Ocu-Plus Formula and decided to give it a try. I started taking Ocu-Plus only last December 14th upon receipt of my first bottle. After that, I noticed that my condition started to improve. My eyes don't look and feel 100% normal anymore, but in such a short period of time, the symptoms have considerably lessened. I feel a great deal of improvement compared to when I first learned that I have glaucoma. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Orlin Sorensen for sharing this great product, the Ocu-Plus Formula." Perla Casundo, North York, CA |
"My right eye has improved and is about the same as it was 4 years ago..."

"I
have been taking your
Ocu-plus for about 3
months and recently
discovered that the sight
in my right eye has
improved and is about the
same as it was 4 years
ago. As I am at the end of
my third bottle, I decided
to re-order on your
monthly plan.""My eyes are not as strained and my nighttime vision is definitely better." Click the play button to hear an audio clip of what Kimberly had to say. |
"The
Ocu-Plus formula has
really helped me a lot. My
eyes are not as strained
and my nighttime vision is
definitely better. I
really enjoy that you send
the product with a feature
about a specific
ingredient in it with each
shipment. Thank you!""I have confidence knowing that I am doing something good for my vision..." Click the play button to hear an audio clip of what Brit had to say. "I started the formula at the time I had my lasik surgery a year ago. My goal is to stabilize and maintain good vision. My surgery was in January 2007 and my one-year check-up was a good one. I have confidence knowing that I am doing something good for my vision by taking the Ocu-Plus formula." Britt Brandt, Greenville, S.C. |
"The optometrist said my vision has improved since my last visit..." Click the play button to hear an audio clip of what Patricia had to say. Patricia Collette-Jordan, Palmdale, CA |
"My
sister has been taking
your vitamins and doing
the eye exercises for over
a year. She gave me a
couple of bottles of your
vitamins and I took them
every day for about 4
months. When I went for
semi-annual eye exam at
the optometrist 2 weeks
ago, he said my vision has
improved since my last
visit!!! ~ WOW!!!! Makes
me a believer in the
vitamins now and so I will
be joining the list of
millions who are
subscribing to your
vitamins & wonderful
newsletters. Thanks a
million!!!" "Eye
pressure drops from
mid-30's audio clip of what Mark had to say. Mark Bottoms, Hempstead, NY |
"My name is
Mark Bottoms and I want to
thank you for the eye
vitamins. My eye pressure
was in the 30's and I had
tried different vitamins
that did not do for my
pressure what the Rebuild
Your Vision Ocu-Plus
Formula eye vitamins have
done. My pressure is now
between 9 and 12 -
consistently! My Eye
doctor is amazed. He has
had to check and recheck
due to the drastic drop in
my pressure and there now
being no swelling, no
blood cells in the eye,
and the eye is quiet! My
field visual test was
great and I have Glaucoma
and sympathetic opthmalia.
The latter is now gone!
With this condition, the
good eye that I have is
constantly fighting the
condition of the bad eye
causing the pressure to
elevate. As I said
earlier, the condition is
gone and the pressure is
AWESOME! THANK YOU!"Do

glaucoma product
that produces
such remarkable
results?
...For a few pennies a
day?

naturally?
