Suggest Treatment For Glaucoma

I have glaucoma and have some eyesight loss in one eye (straight ahead). I am going to a glaucoma specialist and take glaucoma shield daily. Do you know of anyother vitamin that may be better? I recently received a pamphlet for Healthy Vision Complete, do you know if this is any better?

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
The treatment of glaucoma is mainly by use of antiglaucoma drugs to reduce the intraocular pressure. It requires regular monitoring and visual assessment at regular intervals.
Antioxidant supplements are known to decrease the progression of damage to nerve fibres of optic nerve.

Thank you
