  People who have developed glaucoma should pay attention to their diet. Foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B complex are best for people with glaucoma because these kinds of foods can protect their eyes.

  First, people with glaucoma should remember no smoking, no drinking, and no strong tea. Because smoking can lead to defects of optic nerve, drinking can cause expand of capillary of your eyes, and also heavy blooding in your eyes, which eventually lead to acute glaucoma.
