Glaucoma Can Be Cured!!: A Breakthrough in Glaucoma Treatment (Paperback – August 13, 2023). This book reveals the mechanisms behind curing normal-tension glaucoma. While high-tension glaucoma is an "eye disease" caused by elevated intraocular pressure, normal-tension glaucoma can be described as a "neurological disease" stemming from the vulnerability (weakness) of the optic nerve. Simply lowering intraocular pressure at an ophthalmology clinic does not cure it. Even after visual field loss has occurred, the visual field can be improved if treatment addressing the root cause is administered before the optic nerves die completely. Blood contains oxygen essential for biological activity, glucose (an energy source), and other nutrients; naturally, the function of the optic nerve relies on these oxygen and nutrients. Normal-tension glaucoma arises when the optic nerve becomes vulnerable due to an insufficient supply of this blood. The causes of this blood flow deficiency vary from person to person. In addition to the aforementioned low blood pressure, factors such as constitution, diet, and lifestyle habits can lead to reduced blood flow volume; conversely, blood can become excessive and viscous—creating "sludgy" blood—which impedes circulation. Prolonged stress can keep the sympathetic nervous system (the autonomic nervous system responsible for the "fight-or-flight" or tense state) in a state of over-excitation, causing the optic nerve to become overworked and vulnerable. In cases of normal-tension glaucoma, not all optic nerve fibers in the area of ​​visual field loss have died; some are merely damaged and weakened. While these weakened optic nerves would normally die within a few years, they can be revitalized—and the visual field restored—through treatment using herbal medicines tailored to the specific cause. Even though the condition is classified as glaucoma, the underlying causes of optic nerve damage differ for each individual. By diagnosing the specific cause in each patient, a treatment formula combining 20 to 30 types of herbal medicines is created. Many cases have shown recovery from visual field loss as a result of this treatment. There is no need to despair if you have glaucoma. There is a way to cure it.
