Orthomolecular treatment for Glaucoma（青光眼的細胞分子矯正治療）
- Antioxidnts: Vit C and E, lutein, and glutathione（抗氧化劑：Vit C和E，葉黃素和穀胱甘肽）
The standard treatment for glaucoma is to lower the intraocular pressure. High levels of Vit C(2,000-10,000 mg per day or higher) are very effective at reducing intraocular pressure, through its osmotic effect, and likely other mechanisms such as reducing lipid oxidation and increasing outflow through the trabecular mesh and canals that drain the eye（青光眼的標準治療是降低眼內壓。 高水平的維生素C（2,000-10,000mg /天或更高）通過其滲透效應和可能的其他機制非常有效地降低眼內壓，例如減少脂質氧化和通過小梁網和增加流出眼睛的渠道） - To preserve ganglion cells under oxidative stress, oral supplements to enhance mitochondrial function such as lipoic acid, niacinamide(vit B3), and creatinine may prove useful.（為了保持神經節細胞在氧化應激下，增強線粒體功能的口服補充劑如硫辛酸，煙酰胺（維生素B3）和肌酐可能證明是有用的。）
- In glaucoma, levels of vitamin C and other antioxidants such as glutathione are lower inside the eye, suggesting that they are protective against damage.（在青光眼中，維生素C和其他抗氧化劑（例如穀胱甘肽）的水平在眼睛內部較低，這表明它們是防止損傷的。）
- Vit E is know be an important regulator of the oxidative damage that causes glaucoma.（Vit E已知是引起青光眼的氧化損傷的重要調節劑。）
- Vit E can delay the onset of glaucoma symptoms in retinal blood vessels（Vit E可以延遲視網膜血管中青光眼症狀的發作）
