Both my parents have glaucoma and I have early signs of it. Can you suggest any natual remedies I could try? Do you know if inverted podtures in yoga eg. headstand, are contra-indicated?

Ginko Biloba (which can easily be found anywhere that sells vitamins and supplements) has been shown evidence of helping glaucoma.

You might hear that bilberry does as well as its commonly used in this way, but no research has shown it to actually be helpful.

Unfortunately that's about it. Vitamins that are helpful in other eye conditions don't appear to help glaucoma.

Vigorous exercise and inverted yoga positions increase the pressure in the eye. Since increased eye pressure is one of the factors that damages the eye in glaucoma its recommended that these activities are avoided. The same is true with drinking large volumes at one time.
