There is nothing to reduce eye pressure that is clinically helpful. Exercise lowers pressure but not for long. Be sure you are under the care of an Eye MD ophthalmologist physician. You should not be under the care of a non-MD, non-physician optometrist.

Use the search feature and read the many posts about all aspects of glaucoma.
