Intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction by medications, laser, or surgery remains the mainstay of treatment in glaucoma. However, the role of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in glaucoma has received great interest from both patients and ophthalmologists. Previous evidence suggests that diet, a major domain of CAM, can influence an individual's IOP level. Furthermore, certain dietary components have been linked to the incidence and progression of glaucoma. In this review, we aim to provide a summary of the current evidence regarding the role of obesity, certain dietary components, and dietary supplements in glaucoma.
通过药物、激光或手术降低眼压仍然是青光眼治疗的主要方法。然而，补充和替代医学（CAM）在青光眼治疗中的作用已引起患者和眼科医生的极大兴趣。先前的证据表明，饮食作为补充和替代医学的一个主要领域，可以影响个体的眼压水平。此外，某些饮食成分与青光眼的发病率和进展有关。在本综述中，我们旨在总结目前关于肥胖、某些饮食成分和膳食补充剂在青光眼中作用的证据。
