Methods to relieve high eye pressure generally include: 1. Avoid staying up late and ensure adequate sleep; getting at least 8 hours of sleep each day is essential. 2. Maintain a healthy weight by eating more vegetables and fruits, reducing intake of greasy foods, preventing obesity, and thereby lowering the risk of elevated eye pressure. 3. Have regular eye examinations to detect abnormal eye pressure early, and take prescribed medications promptly as directed by a doctor to reduce eye pressure. 4. Relax both mind and body by engaging in relaxing physical activities such as walking or tai chi to relieve stress and help prevent increased eye pressure.
