Overview & Symptoms
Damage to the optic nerve can still happen with controlled pressures (with eyedrops). Nutritional support, supplementation and lifestyle changes can dramatically improve the condition of your eyes. Heavy computer use is a risk factor for glaucoma. Technically, glaucoma is due to optic nerve damage, sometimes due to increased pressure of the clear, watery fluid that circulates within the eye and sometimes from other causes. The diagnosis is no longer solely based on whether a person's Intraocular Pressure (IOL) is elevated or not.

What others say:
"Marc and Michael, I wanted to tell you I just saw my eye M.D. ... he was astounded
by my vision improvement - from 20/40 to 20/20 in 1 eye and 20/25 in the other - this is a direct quote
(and he doesn't astonish easily) - "whatever you are doing keep on doing it." And
my eye pressures were 10 and 11.
-- Again, thank you and happy new year! -- J. Hancock - (1/07/2009)
Thank you for recommending the Coleus Forskolii and ReVision formula for my glaucoma. After increasing the dosage to three times a day for 45 days my eye pressure was lowered to 16 from 22. Twice daily seemed to maintain the 22 (two exams over 6 mo. period substantiated that). I am CONTINUING 3X daily. My goal is to reach 14.
-- Many thanks. G. Pirone - (07/11/2008)
I was diagnosed with glaucoma at the relatively young age of 53. I started drop
therapy and found I was highly allergic to all but two. The drops worked to lower my pressures for almost
a year, but then ... I was facing laser surgery ... I convinced my ophthamologist to delay laser surgery while I gave your products a chance.
I am so excited and grateful to report that after using your recommended products for Glaucoma, Coleus Forskolii and ReVision formula, my IOP went from 19 to 14 in 7 weeks! Laser surgery is cancelled, and my ophthamologist asked me to bring the herbs in at my next checkup because he "wants to see what I'm taking."
Thanks so much for your wonderful products and support.
