  Glaucoma is a very serious kind of eye disease, which actually is a group of disease which could cause blindness. Too much pressure in the eyes is the symptom of glaucoma, and this too much pressure could kill cells in the optic nerves which led to blindness for good. If you are looking for some home remedies, there are some small pieces of suggestion you could find on internet. Yet I think it is really a serious situation, the first thing you should do is going to hospital and seek profession suggestion and help from a oculist. Getting prompt and proper treatment is crucial for glaucoma patient. Once it causes blindness, it is permanent. So, don't hesitate, go to the hospital at your earliest. Hope you can get well soon.

  Firstly, it is essential for people who have glaucoma to take more nutrients, especially vitamin A and vitamin E. Because vitamin A can turn to carotenoid to keep eye health and improve night vision. And vitamin E can remove particles from the eyes. Hence, you can have more vitamin A and vitamin E source food, like carrots, milk, egg, meat. What is more, you should take more spinach because it has lutein that is needed for retina and eye tissue. On the other hand, eyebright herb drops are excellent for glaucoma, which can be used internally and safer than other eye drops.
