Hello there everyone,

My name is Jez and this is my first post.

I have a five year old son with agressive glaucoma secondary to a rare eye condition called sporadic aniridia. His glaucoma has been hard to control medically, and he currently has a Baerveldt shunt in each eye.

We try to maximise our son's general health, and therefore the health of his eyes, by maintaining a good diet rich in fruit and vegetables. We focus on foods with natural antioxidants to try and offer a degree of neuroprotection to the cells of his optic nerves.
