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.

What risks were presented to you?
@greengold
It could have been steroid induced glaucoma. Stopping the prednisone would fix that.

@greengold
How much vitamin C did you take and how did you learn the mindful imaging and what kind of vigorous exercise did you do? Have you been able to maintain the lower eye pressures over the past 2 or 3 months?
