For those who are concerned about— or want to reduce the risk of— glaucoma, following these simple steps regularly can help you maintain good eye health and lower your chances of developing the condition.
1. Get regular eye examinations, including intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements
Routine eye check-ups help determine whether the pressure inside your eyes is within a normal range. Individuals over 40 years old, or those with a family history of glaucoma, are especially encouraged to undergo periodic screenings to ensure early detection.
2. Avoid buying and using eye drops without medical supervision
The eyes are extremely delicate organs. Using inappropriate or unnecessary medications can cause harm and may even trigger or worsen glaucoma without realizing it. Always consult an ophthalmologist before applying any eye drops.
3. Certain medications may increase the risk of glaucoma
Some drugs—such as long-term corticosteroids (steroid eye drops, oral steroids, or inhaled steroids)—can contribute to elevated eye pressure. Always consult a specialist before starting new medications, especially if you are already at risk.
4. Maintain a healthy lifestyle to support overall eye health
Although vitamins such as vitamin C are important for general health due to their antioxidant properties, there is no scientific evidence that vitamin C can reduce glaucoma symptoms. Instead, focus on balanced nutrition, regular exercise, good sleep, and avoiding smoking, which all contribute to long-term eye wellness.
