The first sign of any eye disorder is blurred vision or not being able to see correctly. Glaucoma is a much more serious eye disorder, with several accompanying symptoms. It’s an eye disorder characterised by raised intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage. In other words, there is a build-up of pressure inside the eyes and this pressure can damage the optic nerve, which transmits images to the brain.
Glaucoma is of two types. Closed Angle (acute) Glaucoma is painful and progresses rapidly, in contrast to Open Angle (chronic) Glaucoma. The Open Angle Glaucoma leads to a gradual loss of vision. The symptoms of Closed Angle Glaucoma are blurred vision, halos around light, headache, pain in eyes, nausea or vomiting. A family history of Glaucoma, Myopia and Diabetes Mellitus are the risk factors associated with Glaucoma. Injury to eye may also lead to Glaucoma. Medicines sourced from natural substances provide an effective treatment for Glaucoma. The Homeopathic remedies for Glaucoma are completely safe, and have no side effects.
UNDERSTANDING GLAUCOMA
Glaucoma is an eye disorder characterised by raised intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage. The raised intraocular pressure is the result of an imbalance between the production and drainage of the aqueous humour or eye fluid. Glaucoma occurs when the eye pressure increases as the eye fluid or aqueous humour is not circulating normally in the front part of the eye. This fluid normally flows out of the eye, but if this channel is blocked, the fluid builds up, causing Glaucoma.
Closed Angle Glaucoma occurs when the drainage angle that permits the flow of aqueous humour is narrowed. Open Angle (chronic) Glaucoma occurs when the drainage angle is anatomically normal. Closed Angle glaucoma is painful and progresses rapidly in contrast to Open Angle Glaucoma, which is slow in progression.
Top Natural Homeopathic Remedies for Glaucoma
The top remedies for Glaucoma are Phosphorus, Comocladia, BelladonnA, Osmium, Physostigma, Prunus Spinosa, Cedron
1. Phosphorus: For Glaucoma with optic nerve damage
On the list of top remedies for Glaucoma, Phosphorus tops the list. It is also indicated for Glaucoma when the optic nerve is damaged (atrophied). The main symptom guiding the use of this remedy is tiredness of eyes all the time. The eyes seem very tired even when they are not engaged in much work. The eyes seem to be exhausted. Along with the fatigue of eyes, the vision is blurred and the patient feels that every object is under the cover of dust when he or she looks at it. Halos around light is also an important symptom. Another key symptom is the slightly improved vision by shading the eyes with hands. By doing this, the objects that look blurred seem somewhat clear. Phosphorus helps in improving the eyesight and the fatigue of eyes.
2. Comocladia: For Sensation of Fullness in Eyes
Amongst the remedies for Glaucoma with pain, Comocladia is indicated in patients, who experience a fullness sensation in eyes. The fullness is mostly accompanied by pain in eyes. The eyes feel very enlarged. The eye pain gets worse by warmth and such a person feels relief in pain and eye fullness in open air.
3. Belladonna: For Glaucoma with acute symptoms
Belladonna is the best for acute symptoms in a patient of Glaucoma. The main symptoms include sudden increase in dimness of vision. The eyes appear red. This is accompanied by a severe pain in eyes and head. The pain is very violent in character. Nausea and vomiting may also occur.
4. Osmium: For Improving Dim Vision
Osmium is of great help in improving dim vision. The intraocular pressure is raised in persons needing Osmium. The important symptom listed by the patient is the display of various changeable colours of an object when looked at from different angles like a rainbow (iridescent vision). The patient may also have an intolerance to light.
5. Physostigma: For Glaucoma following Injury
For an effective treatment of Glaucoma following injury, Physostigma is the best natural remedy. The symptoms may be dim vision, blurring of vision or partial blindness. Along with dim vision, the patient may suffer from pain in eyes. The pain is usually worse after using the eyes. Patients of Glaucoma with myopic condition also respond well to this medicine.
6. Prunus Spinosa: For Sudden Pain in Right Eye
Prunus Spinosa is the ideal natural medicine for treatment of sudden pain in right eye as a result of Glaucoma. Prunus Spinosa works mainly for right eye pain. Pain in eye is so acute and violent that it results in a bursting sensation in the eyeball.
7. Cedron: For Severe Pain in Left Eye
In contrast to Prunus Spinosa, the action of natural medicine Cedron is centered on the left eye of a Glaucoma patient. Cedron is the ideal remedy for severe, violent pain in the eye, especially left eye. The onset of pain may show certain periodicity in its occurence. The pain may show radiation to the nose.

Hell Sharma garu,
my Dad is 76 years old and have been using medication/drops from the time it was detected 20 years ago. Eventually he lost sight in one year and now lost 99.5% of the sight in other eye. We have been going to multiple specialists and had surgeries as well but now – its like we dont know when he will lose that .05% of the sight.
I did hear Homeo has medication for Glaucoma. My Dad’s problem is the eye pressure which seems to be going up very high after 12pm and the tests run morning 10 AM vs 4 PM are drastically different.
Doctors dont know the reason why pressure is going so high after 12 pm and we are continuing with medication and eye drops.
Question I have for you is , do you have any suggestions for my Dad – A Doctor he can visit in Hyderabad, India or a homeo medication . We are willing to try anything and visit any doctor anywhere.
Thank you
Madhavi

what is the best medicine for high pressure in eyes
Doctor sahab meri aankh mein glycoma hai kya h********** mein iska koi ilaj sambhav hai
Dear dr sharia,
I have high eyes pressures caused by a kenelog steroid shot, the shot was put in my eye in December 2018 to treat cme! My pressures are running 33! I’m hoping the steroid will leave the eye!
What can I take for the high pressures? All the tests show no glaucoma yet!
Hi Doctor
About two years ago I was diagnosed with glaucoma in my left eye. The pressure in both my eyes falls within the normal range. The specialist said he would treat me for low eye pressure even though I registered normal. I didn’t start taking drops . I don’t have pain in my eyes but my left eye vision has deteriorated a lot. I would appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you

I contracted glaucoma only in my right eye and after an EPI and vitrectomy last August (2018). It was only then discovered that I had pigmentary dispersion syndrome, and the procedure caused this to plug my drainage meshwork and worsen the cataract, which in both eyes at the time were not impacting vision at all. I then had an SLT which failed. In May 2019, I had viscocanalostomy and trabeculotomy to remove some meshwork and to open up drain but this did not eliminate drops. In the meantime, I still had very poor and foggy vision and am now told I have cystoid macula edema which will be difficult to tread because taking steriods really increased the IOP after the viscocanalostomy. I was put on a kertolac which did nothing and FML for only a month and that did next to nothing and barely improved things. Now that the weather is colder, this really bothers my eye and I am taking organic tumeric capsules. I want to keep my good eye from needing a cataract removal and I thank God I see fine with that eye. Since I am 67, I am sure it will worsen if I do not try to help it. I am interested in the Glaucoma pellets and whether there is anything I can use to lower IOP in the affected eye as well as for the macular edema pellets and if that will just be a wasted effort. I also am interested in the cataract pellets and drops to keep my good eye from ever requiring a cataract procedure. Thank you for any advice you can provide.
Dr Sharma: Thank you for your useful blog.
My question is: The numerous adaptogens offered thru Herb merchandisers, i.e. Reishi, Ashwagandha, maitake mushrooms etc are those as good in their dinamized version (homeopathic) ?
Thank you for your answer
Kind regards,
Hello,I have a returning chronic eye infection with thin clear exudate but gets brown staining and a little reddish at times.I developed a brownish spot in the front of my left eye after I hit it accidentally by running into the glass door.it doesn’t stain on eye examination drops.Can you suggest any remedy please??
Dear Dr. Sharma,
My daughter was born with glaucoma. She had surgery at one year old to relieve pressure in her eye. She is currently on daily eye drops. Could you please suggest what she may take for this condition.
Thanks.
Would appreciate knowing how to take these medications. Would like to switch from pharmacy preparations if possible
I was diagnosed with onset glaucoma a couple of years ago. Recently my eye doctor decided to send me to our hospital outpatient clinic, where they found a raised ocular pressure (but it is not clear to me whether it is closed angle or open angle. The pressure now is 23/21, which is actually lower than it was last February. I do not have any symptoms of closed angle, and the doctors at the hospital didn’t show any panic, so I assume it is open angle. They have prescribed Travatrost drops. I am very willing first to use homoeopathy, rather than getting tied up in a conventional medicine which may have very unpleasant side-effects. Can you advise me? I intend to return for a doctor’s check up in about one month.
many thanks
I am having glaucoma with optic disc cupping of 0.9 bilateral using treatment but with not much tight control of IOP . Kindly suggest me homeopathy treatment to improve vision and control of IOP. Thx
Hello Dr. Sharma:
I have been a glaucoma suspect for 10 years, but the last annual checup showed that my iop was in the 30 range, which is higher than the year before in the low 20’s. I did drink 2 cups of strong coffee before my exam this year, and it was in the morning hours, so I believe this may have affected my reading.
Also, I have thicker corneas that are about 590. And I have had regractive surgeries in the past (RK and PRK). My vision is excellent, and I have not lost any peripheral vision nor do I have any pain.
But I am concerned with lowering my iop. Do youo have any suggestions?
Thank you for your kind help.
Sincerely,
Philip Bello
