Frequently Asked questions About Glaucoma

Text

Which doctor should I consult for the treatment of glaucoma?
You can visit an Opthalmologist.

What would happen if the glaucoma is not treated?
If glaucoma is not treated the eye would go blind and often become painful as well.

Can a person do Yoga exercises if he has glaucoma?
Regular yoga can be done except for exercises involving the head being lower than the body for an appreciable time as it tends to increase intraocular pressure.

What can you do to protect your vision?
If you are being treated for glaucoma, be sure to take your glaucoma medicine every day and see your eye care professional regularly.
