Limited preliminary evidence suggests that a handful of supplements may have beneficial effects in glaucoma by reducing intraocular pressure, improving inner retinal function, increasing blood flow, or slowing visual field loss. These supplements include ginkgo biloba, blackcurrant anthocyanins, epigallocatechin-gallate, vitamin B3, and Erigeron breviscapus (a Chinese herb).[1][2]
Have any supplements been studied for glaucoma?
