Ive heard people with glaucoma should take special vitamin supplements. What should I be taking and in what dose?
Although glaucoma can’t be prevented, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and eating nutritious foods may help you generally avoid diseases. Eating a balanced diet is the best way to ensure your body receives the proper nutrients it needs to function. Some of the vitamins and minerals that may contribute to overall eye health include antioxidant vitamins A, C and E, and minerals zinc, copper and selenium. If you’re concerned about your diet, talk with your health care professional about whether you should take nutritional supplements or make dietary changes.
