I suspected stress was related to glaucoma

Submitted by muse on Sat, 03/13/2010 - 5:34pm

When I went to get my eyes examined for a new prescription, the Dr. told me I had glaucoma. I couldn't believe it. I had so many health problems already due to stress, that I cried and cried. He said my eyes were dry and right away I figured it was from the adrenal exhaustion I suffered a couple years back, which I am on the mend from... but it is taking time. My nails, skin, hair, mouth and now eyes were dry. It is a good thing I know I am not a body. ~g~ I am a huge fan of Byron Katie and Gary Renard's contributions to the world.

The optometrist sent me for further tests. All was well but my eye pressure was higher than healthy but not high enough to take the drops. I had heard about the side effects of the drops and didn't want to go there. ~g~ Now I have yet another reason to relax and not get stressed out. My sight depends on it.

Dave, your article, Stress and Eye Pressure - Solving The Equation, just verified what I already suspected was the problem. I told the specialist that my adrenal problems were probably the cause, and I think he thought me daft. No one in the office seemed to be hip to the connection.
