Dr. Jia Xinguo
Glaucoma patients are advised to consume vegetables and fruits such as Chinese cabbage, apples, blueberries, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, celery, lychees, durians, grapes, and mangoes. Blueberries, carrots, and grapes contain antioxidant compounds and beta-carotene, which help protect the eyes. Celery and tomatoes are rich in dietary fiber, which supports nerve health. Patients should avoid spicy, irritating foods and carbonated beverages.
