Eye Problem

[hopee]

Dear Doctor,

I am 67 years old and till work

I visited my optician to day and was told I have young cataracts in both eyes, and small deposit of Drusen in both eyes. Can you tell what type of diet and supplements that can help me with these problems.

I also had very high pressure in my right eye and it now doww to 12in the right and 10n in the left  eye but I was told I must still use my eye drops.

I also suffers from bad insomia, Help!

Thanks for your advice.
Kind Regards
Hope Roberts

If your pressure was high and you had to use drops to bring the pressure down and your are still on those drops you have glaucoma.  Discuss with your MD

1. For cataracts and macular drusen good diet: fruit, vegetables, fish, berries, nuts, lutein rich foods (spinach, greens, collards, etc).  Cut down on fats and hi calorie carbs (donuts, pastry, etc).
2. You sound like you have glaucoma.

You should be under the care of an Eye MD ophthalmologist.  Use the search feature and archives to learn more of your conditions.
