I had high pressure due to surgery for an epiretinal membrane in 2008. I was offered a trabeculectomy, but when I heard the risks, I came back to my home town and consulted a naturopath. I stopped the prednisone drops I was on. I started high dose vitamin C powder, several homeopathic supplements, did about 2 hours of vigorous exercise/day. Also, I was taught how to do mindfulness positive imaging. I did these every day for 2 weeks and the eye pressure was back in the normal range.
