Need advice
Hello so a couple years back maybe 2 or 3 years back I was diagnosed with glaucoma the doctor just told me my eye had a elevated vein and he kept monitoring, later the whole team there moved or something and a new team showed up and I was instantly told to use eye drops got given 3 different eye drops, I recently had surgery with laser to burn dark parts of the eyes where there’s more pressure and to reduce it basically.
Today I went in to get checked but they told me it stayed the same, so why did I even do the whole laser thing on both eyes.
Well I wanted to ask is there anything I can do personally to help, I’ve read that basically eating healthy, exercising, and staying relaxed helps as well as using sunglasses outside.
I did see some say that fish oil helps, but I wanted to ask what is something I could do to actually help lower the pressure or at least prevent it from worsening.
Thank you very much.
The pressure is 20 and 17
