Eye Tip of the Month

Vitamin D and Glaucoma

The eye-brain connection is once more highlighted by the need for adequate levels of Vitamin D. Kaufman and associates at the University of Wisconsin reported that Vitamin D eye drops provide a safe and effective treatment for Ocular Hypertensin (OHT) otherwise known as glaucoma suspects. Glaucoma is the second leading blinding disease in the US and OHT individuals may have a 50% chance of progressing to a stage whereby the need permanent therapy. There has been a long debate about whether to treat these people and now a more natural therapy is currently being formulated as an option to drugs and lasers.

Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with MS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other neurological disorders (this not to say it is the cause). Retinal nerve fiber loss, seen prominently in MS, is he hallmark in glaucoma and is the guide for treatment effectiveness. Since MS may be stopped with 8000-10000 IU Vitamin D, perhaps oral supplementation would also be effective for glaucoma. It remains for clinical researchers to come up with these answers, but I recommend getting your blood level of D3 tested to know where you stand.
