Vitamins are important in eye health, but so far there is no resource proving vitamin deficiency would lead to glaucoma, so there is no such treatment to glaucoma with vitamins. Glaucoma refers the increased intraocular pressure, caused by imbalance of aqueous humor production and drainage. Normally at the beginning stage, patients doesn't have any feelings or pain in eyes from glaucoma. The increased intraocular pressure can only be tested by detailed examination. To help your eyes with glaucoma, vitamins do not work. You should have a light diet, rich in nutritions. Stay away from caffeine or smoking which would increase the pressure. Have a healthy and regular life with moderate exercises. Stay in a happy mood.
