Thanks for the article @Hans, I'm interested as I have been being treated for glaucoma/high IOP for a number of years. I have to use drops morning & evening & I have had laser iridotomy (hole in iris) in each eye. Ideally I would rather not have to use the drops so anything that lowers pressures would be good.
I have been following diet & lifestyle tips here for some time but my hypo symptoms although slightly improved, remain. I'm particularly interested in the cortisol/serotonin aspect here because cypro helps me sleep but a reported side effect can be an increase of IOP. I'm now wondering whether the cortisol/serotonin lowering effect could cancel out this effect as long as I keep the doses low.
For the last 6 weeks I have been trying thyroid, initially NDT, now more T3 with some success. My regular hospital check was recently cancelled due to the lockdowns but I'm curious whether the thyroid will have improved IOP.
I have a 670nm red light which I tried shining into my closed eyes from a couple of feet probably about a year ago but found the experience uncomfortable and the impact on vision/colours after use when I opened my eyes put me off it.
