There is reaserch going on into the causes, prevention and to some extent cure of this horrible disease: Part of the reserch sugests amazingly that healthy exercise, where you reduce body fat and water levels ie: jogging for 30 mins 3 times a week can have dramitic effects in reducing the presure in the eye where glaucoma exists. I am a little afaid that myself might have gluacoma in my left eye, as I seem to suffer from the usual sife effects of blured vision, minor eye pain which feels like pressure build up in my eye, and a red eye with strained blood vessels. Amazinly though if I do any kind of exercise, perticuly jogging the discomfant starts to ease almost imediatly. With after a few days of jogging round the local park, my eye returns to a normal whiteness, are ALL discomfant totally goes away:- Only to return if I start slacking up on the joging. I hope for God sake I do not have Glaucoma as surely all the doctors out there must have known about exercise. Either I have not got Gluacoma just some body fat behind my eye which builds up, hence the reason why exercise is so helpful, OR I have got Glaucoma, but knowone else has discovered this amazing cure!!!!!!!
