Given the convincing findings from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) on supplement recommendations in slowing down progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), it is not surprising that the role of diet and supplements has also been examined in glaucoma management.

Navigating the do’s and don’ts of glaucoma eye drops can often be a challenge for people living with glaucoma and in particular, for those recently diagnosed.

A new, detailed genetic roadmap of glaucoma, revealed by Australian ophthalmologist Professor Alex Hewitt, will help researchers develop new drugs to combat the disease, by identifying potential target areas to stall or reverse vision loss.
