Glaucoma occurs when the intraocular pressure

Written by Perla Andrew's

(IOP) within the eye is high enough to cause progressive damage to the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss. A normal healthy optic nerve has about a million nerve fibres which come from the retina (the seeing membrane at the back of the eye). When glaucoma develops, these nerve fibres start to die off and if enough nerve tissue is lost, then the vision starts to be affected.

In the initial stages of glaucoma there is usually no noticeable change in vision but it has been estimated that during this time a patient can lose as many as half the nerve fibres in the eye and these cannot be regenerated.

High eye pressure = over 21 mmHg,
Normal eye pressure = 6 - 21 mmHg.

Greg, my husband, eye pressure prior to today’s visit to the Doctor was 26. His diet is poor, consisting of sausages and mashed potatoes etc. Greg has been on Ganoderma now for some months, taking 3prs (2 each RG and GL) along with 10 DXN Spirulina each day.

The great news is that the eye pressure of Greg is now 16 mmHg in the right eye and 17 mmHg in the left, this is now in the range of normal .
