Thank you so much for this information. I was diagnosed with glaucoma recently. I like leafy greens, but not to excess, and dark leafy greens I can only eat cooked. I already drink at least two cups (14 oz mugs) of green tea every morning and eat lots of fruit. I'm going to try the Gingko, if it doesn't react with my lantanaprost. I do take vitamins, but only because I take other meds that affect absorption of some things like magnesium and zinc.
I was just given a prescription for eye drops for my glaucoma. I went to pick it up and was told the generic drops were $728.00. That was my share of the cost after Medicare paid their part. Needless to say, I did not get the drops. There is no way I can afford to pay that much money for drops for the rest of my life. I'm searching for alternatives. The government can afford to give money and food stamps, etc..... to the illegals, while the senior citizens in this country cannot afford to pay for prescriptions. Unreal!
That is unbelievable ! $728 !!?, here in Australia , depending on brand and amount they average around 28 to 38 , 50 dollars for two types of drops , I use 3 types of drops for acute angle glaucoma
@@frankbrancatisano217 Yeah, when I called them back they said it was $815.00 for 2.5 mL x 3 bottles. Even more than the first time. I told my eye doctor, so she gave me a generic brand to try, even though she said she hasn't had results as good with that one as she has had with the more expensive one. So, I was able to get the generic drops for around $40.00, 2.5 mL x 4 bottles. I guess that is more in line with what you're paying. The expensive brand is called Lumigan & the cheaper one is called Latonoprost Ophthamlic. I think that is it. The print is very tiny.
Thank you Dr Pang i am so happy to have read your video on Glucoma as i have in both eyes i am 77 yrs old and i will take precautions especially my coffee intake Thank you Sir❤😅😅🎉
Other doctors say that it is not all about eye pressure but also optical nerve support which vitamin B3 supplements support. Also other doctors say that even if you already have glaucoma, B3 can reduce the effects of glaucoma. Recent studies show this but do you agree? It is vert confusing for us glaucoma sufferers on the internet when we here conflicting advice. Thank you for the video and God Bless You.
I'm very curious because they wouldn't put me on oral steroids that would have prevented me from going completely blind in the right eye which the glaucoma came on suddenly but a lot of the medications they give us especially the prednisone in the eye is lethal
@@jessamalala6203 Blueberries are a fruit and antioxidant which is supposed to be good for the eyes I have been eating blueberries for the past 1520 years hope that helps
How does one get or contact glaucoma? Please I would be glad if you could give some advice as I am suffering with this painful sickness for along time. 12 years.
Dr. Albert Pang, what about whey protein shake that we senior need to take as diet is insufficient to provide enough protein for our muscle and strength maintenance. I am 87 years old and need protein. Thank you.
Thank you, I finally see Cannabis actually does decrease eye pressure, so the best part is that it does not hurt. also good not to chug-a-lug the water, something we all love to do on a hot day!! And best of all, yummy greens. I also anticipate the studies coming out in next year or so, regarding if B3 vitamin can help slow optic damage. Great Video Dr. Pang!
Yes - tea is fine. Avoid coffee, both decaff or caffeinated - it is the coffee beans that raise the eye pressure. If you have to have coffee have it after a meal.
He did scare me when he stated that alcohol has a neutral affect on glaucoma, but it has a tremendous affect on blood pressure, and both go hand in hand I would think. Don't metabolize alcohol into glucose and it metabolized fructose passes that brain barrier I would definitely say alcohol has a tremendous effect on the eyes, of people with metabolic diseases!?
Good information But regarding drinking water if one has an issue of urinary or kidney problems doctors always encourage to drink plenty of water So where to draw the line
Everything has to be eaten in moderation because even too much fruit has too much sugar ! That could be dangerous for people with High blood pressure or a Diabetics. So i have to disagree with you on all of this. Many people know what they need to stay away from Thank you Doc. There are many comments from many different sources and Doctors. PRAY IS A POWERFUL SOURCE AND THATS MY SUGGESTION. MIRACLES HAPPEN DAILY. BLESSINGS TO YOU. PRAISE GOD 👏
fruit and sugar are not the same thing and fruit has fiber. check out Dr. Kempner (Walter) he head up a study and helped people with eye issues and diabetics using a high starch program as does other doctors like Dr Bernard, Dr. McDougell, and so many others.
Decaf coffee is not a good sub for caffeinated coffee. In the process of making coffee decaffeinated methylene chloride is used. This is is used in industrial processes like paint stripping, metal cleaning and degreasing and it is linked to cancer.
Doctor, in one side you recommend to drink caffeine-free coffee to not increase the pressure in eyes, but the other side you say that BLACK tea is good for glaucoma patients. You may be forgot, but black tea has much more caffeine in it then the coffee has. Am I not right?
Not all caffeine is equal due to alkaloids and other constituents in coffee vs. tea. Notice how a cup of coffee wakes you up quicker and seems so much stronger than a cup of tea? In some countries they grind the coffee beans with a few green cardamom seeds to offset the harmful effects of coffee. I do not know the biochemical reasons for this.
What causes the glaucoma? The underlying causes the main thing to prevent like metabolic diseases or injuries. But, certain viruses like herpes shingles of the eye or anywhere that herpes lies dormant.

How I struggled with glaucoma after eye surgery... The exercise of closing the eyes helped, while we squeeze out excess fluid from the eyes, one different way... ruclips.net/video/D3O3TtsNxiQ/видео.htmlsi=hmmAHTVOX6CKhicj Does anyone ever wonder why we rub our eyes? By doing this we equalize the pressure in the eyes and improve the nutrition of the blood vessels, but after surgery this cannot be done... The pressure in the eye is increased due to the spongy trauber network clogged with fibrous blood, which removes 85% of the fluid from the eyes into the Schlemm canal. This often happens after blood enters due to eye injuries, or eye surgery, sugar, poor diet, etc.. It is necessary to improve fluid drainage: 1 Improve rheology (fluidity...) diet, jars, leeches, etc. 2 Improve blood vessels (contrast shower!!!, vitamins and much more...) 3 Mechanically help remove fluid from the eyes (massage around the eyes to drain lymph..., alternately squeezing and squeezing out excess fluid if you can’t rub your eyes due to surgery or injury, etc.) I’ll add... In order for the blood to be “liquid”, proper nutrition is necessary!!!, without excess sweets, flour, potatoes, etc. Good outflow is helped by proper MASSAGE of the eyes and neighboring areas and neck. But it also helps a lot to close your eyes one by one!!! eye to gouge out!!! excess fluid from the eyes into the lymph through the trabecular meshwork (spongy tissue can be clogged with fibrous blood after surgery or injury), into Schlemm’s canal. Massage of the lymphatic vessels that drain fluid around the eyes and ears, as well as throughout the head, helps to prevent and treat GLAUCOMA!!! A daily contrast shower or at least applying a hot wet or cold cloth to the eyes to train the elasticity of the blood vessels around the eyes and the entire head helps. All this warns of GLAUCOMA, which is almost impossible to cure otherwise. Only if you put leeches to thin the blood. Regular cupping and cupping (hijama) also help to improve the rheology of blood and lymphatic fluid. Regular trips to the pool are very useful, because of the contrast shower, because of washing your face after diving, because of constantly closing your eyes, because of swimming and the work of large muscles that help the movement of lymph,,,

My eye pressure went down to safe levels when I decreased my coffee by 75%
Good to hear. I’veeliminated that devil. ZERO coffee for me. I used to drink it like water
Wow! I better quit.
Best is to never drink any alcohol. Save your eyes, your life, and if driving save others. 🥰
Thanks Doctor for the explaining. Very honest with the viewers on what we should avoid, or used.
How do u know he was being honest with us?
Well done! I appreciate your informative video.

Most appreciated. Very helpful and will alter towards your suggestions. Your presentation is precise and to the point. Thank you for that.
Are chlorophyll drops good to use to increase nitrate oxide pathway?
In general most people should not drink more than 24 oz of water within an hour in order to avoid electrolyte issues.
The water also makes. Sense.
I would think alcohol would be been the most harmful.
This guy is awesome .
What about looking at the computer screen? Does that increase glaucoma?? Anyone know?
I think it is all about the plumbing system in the ey.Drainage isnt sufficent.

*If you have Glaucoma, you must avoid CBD, which increases eye pressure.* THC reduces eye pressure, so please stick to THC-only cannabis products.
My brother made a PSA song about this on Suno, after he did research for his glaucoma.
*No CBD for Glaucoma*

How about Chlorella
Should u drink caffeinated tea
Yes - tea is fine. Avoid coffee, both decaff or caffeinated - it is the coffee beans that raise the eye pressure. If you have to have coffee have it after a meal.
Eat raw garlic cloves with your next meal.
That will loosen up everything to allow maximum blood flow to the eyes and everything else.
Said who..the neighbour?

No me.......the guy helped by it the most.
Good video
Does this include decaf?
Alcohol can create other issues of liver, blood vessels of eye
A glass of red wine is fine and recommended
He did scare me when he stated that alcohol has a neutral affect on glaucoma, but it has a tremendous affect on blood pressure, and both go hand in hand I would think.
Don't metabolize alcohol into glucose and it metabolized fructose passes that brain barrier I would definitely say alcohol has a tremendous effect on the eyes, of people with metabolic diseases!?
Great thank you.
Good information
But regarding drinking water if one has an issue of urinary or kidney problems doctors always encourage to drink plenty of water

What the doctor told us not that you should not drink plenty water, but that you need slower drinking

Everything has to be eaten in moderation because even too much fruit has too much sugar !
That could be dangerous for people with High blood pressure or a Diabetics.

Green thé has à lot of cafeine. Installation that harmful whan you have glaucoma?
Decaf coffee is not a good sub for caffeinated coffee. In the process of making coffee decaffeinated methylene chloride is used. This is is used in industrial processes like paint stripping, metal cleaning and degreasing and it is linked to cancer.
😮
Not all decaf coffee is using this process. There is also other process that is harmless
Doctor, in one side you recommend to drink caffeine-free coffee to not increase the pressure in eyes, but the other side you say that BLACK tea is good for glaucoma patients. You may be forgot, but black tea has much more caffeine in it then the coffee has. Am I not right?
True some tea has caffeine. Avoid the caffeine ones
Not all caffeine is equal due to alkaloids and other constituents in coffee vs. tea. Notice how a cup of coffee wakes you up quicker and seems so much stronger than a cup of tea? In some countries they grind the coffee beans with a few green cardamom seeds to offset the harmful effects of coffee. I do not know the biochemical reasons for this.
So you think the doctor does not know that there is caffeine in tea?
It about the quantity!
Anyone catch the "Chemical" in tea? Sounds like fervanol or berbanol? Can't tell with the accent. Thx!

Is there no eye drops for glaucoma
Yes, check out Omk-1 citicoline eye drops from pharmadiet. Been using for 2 months and gas already improved my field of vision.
My glaucoma Doctor is a professor and he says it’s ok to have coffee. Not a lot, but a couple.
As for water, it’s ok unless you go over the top.

I used to eat a lot of fruits, and made my glaucoma worst. Plus I am now type 2 diabetic, so can't eat much fruit.
Lots of sugar in fruit.
Sugar in fruit is NEVER the culprit of diabetes. Good try tho.
l thought tea has more caffeine than coffee!
No, coffee has 2/3X more
I was going to ask if it's the caffeine that triggers the pressure in the eye like it does with hypertension?
Says online alcohol is bad
