I was diagnosed with glaucoma in jan this year and have since lost my driving license. That is what it is, I am now on latanoprost everyday and things seem to have settled where they are. I have been looking into the supplement and vitamin side of things just to see if there is any benefit to them. I know it can't improve my glaucoma, but are they worth trying to naturally aid the other treatment. Thanks

Sorry to hear you have lost your license. It’s a tough one to deal with. I take Visionace Max vitamins. Whether they help or not I don’t know and they are quite expensive. I suppose it’s clutching at straws really but like most of us I’ll do anything to try and keep my sight for as long as possible so I think vitamins are worth a try and can’t do any harm.

Thanks for that, I think they may gave been one of the tablets I was looking at. That is what I am focusing on now, keeping what sight I have left.
