Over the last several years, original research conducted by FitEyes.com has supported the observation that our internal state (which largely consists of our thoughts and emotions) is fundamentally related to the health of our eyes. Our physical health and our state of consciousness are intimately related...

How many of you are watching Oprah Winfrey's webcasts with Echkart Tolle: A New Earth Web Event ? I suggest it is worth watching. There is more to the connection between this topic and our visual health than one might realize at first glance. The current discussion is about the ego's role in our health...

I am loving what glaucoma does for me on a daily basis. I have changed oh so much. I am a different person now -- and much healthier than ever. How did this happen? When I walked in to my ophthalmologist's office for the first time, he found that the intraocular pressure in my right eye was 48 mmHg....

Two nights ago my wife and I watched a movie on DVD called "I Am David." The movie has an overall customer review rating of about 4.5 stars out of 5 on Amazon -- but more importantly, it was highly recommended by the Spiritual Cinema Circle. My wife and I have decided to watch only uplifting or positive...

Over the last year I have been telling my friends and my wife that I'm finding enlightenment though high-frequency intraocular pressure research and self-tonometry. For a while my wife watched me monitor my intraocular pressure up to one hundred times a day (or even two hundred) and she thought I was...

Let us celebrate and enjoy everything that comes into our lives. Everything comes for a reason (and the reason is usually that, on some level, we have created all the situations in our life). So whether we are dealing with glaucoma or another health issue or another life issue, we should own it, claim...

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I've found a definite eye pressure-emotions correlation in my own experience. That's what I'll be sharing in this entry: After my diagnosis on the basis of eye pressures of 28 and 29, I started a regimen of two different eyedrops, each used twice a day. Over the...

Greetings to everyone at the end of this lovely autumn day ~ I've documented much of my 30 years with ocular hypertension and will be sharing this information and my experiences in this blog. My name is Nancy and I was diagnosed with ocular hypertension 30 years ago. At that time, actually, elevated...

Nearly four weeks ago I wrote the blog post about my intraocular pressure reaching a record low of 6.7 mmHg as measured by the Reichert Ocular Response Analyzer. After that post, I had one measurement that was even lower - 6.5 mmHg. It seemed like week after week and day after day my intraocular pressure...

It is time to start Chapter Two of my blog. I believe there will be many more chapters. However, it feels like Chapter One has come to a close. Chapter One of my personal blog started with the idea that I would report my observations on the role of nutritional factors and activities on my own intraocular...

Paresh posted an excellent message about dealing with glaucoma in the FitEyes.com forums. He asked seven great questions. I decided to do my best to respond to each question. I'm going to take them one at a time. Paresh's first question was , "what we can do in daily life to limit further damage to eyes...

We have been discussing some ideas for research into the relationship between psychological stress and intraocular pressure. I have done some preliminary tests related to white coat ocular hypertension syndrome and mentioned them in my personal blog. White coat ocular hypertension is an interesting possibility...

This is my plan for overcoming glaucoma: embrace, evolve and exceed . I had to start embracing my glaucoma because to do otherwise implied aversion. Aversion is defined as "antipathy: a feeling of intense dislike." Obviously, we resist that which we dislike. And that which we resist persists - this is...

In my first true 24-hour eye pressure monitoring period, where supine eye pressure measurements were taken, I found out that my eye pressure is much higher at night than expected. I also found out that my blood pressure is much lower. That's a bad combination of pressures for the health of the optic...

Our discussions and planning for a new business venture have been getting progressively more intense during the last week. Today represents a peak in that "stress". However, I want to attempt to better define what I mean by stress. I have reduced the stress in my life by a significant amount since I...
