Managing Glaucoma and Vision Loss
Posted by Leslie Riopel, MA, ACHT on 12th Dec 2016
Do you have glaucoma or wake up struggling to see clearly? Glaucoma is an eye condition that damages the optic nerve. This damage is typically caused by an abnormal amount of pressure in the eye. A healthy optic nerve is vital to good vision and glaucoma can have debilitating consequences.
Glaucoma is actually one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States alone and it can occur at any age, however, it is more common in older adults.
Glaucoma can sneak up on you with little to no warning signs, and sometimes the effect comes on so slowly that you may not notice a change in your vision at all until the condition is at an advanced stage.
If glaucoma is recognized early enough, vision loss can be slowed down or even prevented.
While you might not think of mind-body medicine as something that could help counteract the effects of glaucoma, it can help diminish side-effects and it might even help you see more clearly.
Mind-body techniques like hypnosis or meditation are very powerful tools and tools that can be used to help with something like glaucoma.
If you have glaucoma, there is something you can do, because the mind is very powerful.
Your DNA is influenced by your thoughts and feelings, and when you feel good, your body responds in a positive, loving way.
Research has even shown that those who use positive thoughts, prayers, and affirmations, can influence the structure of water crystals, as shown in the research done by Dr. Masaru Emoto in the book The Hidden Messages in Water. Since your body is made of water, there is no reason why that same positive, healing effect can't be used to help diminish symptoms of glaucoma.
Just like a basketball or a football requires the proper air pressure to maintain its shape, the eyeball needs internal fluid pressure to retain its shape in order for you to see clearly.
When something affects the ability of the internal eye structure to regulate intraocular pressure (IOP), the eye pressure can rise to dangerously high levels causing something like glaucoma.
