Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness with a projected prevalence of over 110 million by 2040, can be managed through both traditional and lifestyle strategies. While lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) is essential, recent findings suggest that lifestyle modifications, including diet, exercise, stress management, and improved sleep, could provide significant benefits. Diets rich in vegetables and antioxidants can reduce glaucoma risk, moderate exercise can lower IOP, and stress management techniques may enhance overall well-being. Integrating these changes into clinical practice empowers patients and supports their long-term management.
