Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy characterized by increased intraocular pressure (IOP), leading to damage of the optic nerve and gradual loss of vision. It is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. The elevated pressure within the eye results from obstruction in aqueous humor outflow, commonly through the trabecular meshwork or Schlemm’s canal.
There are two main types: Open-angle glaucoma (slow, painless loss of vision) and Angle-closure glaucoma (sudden painful increase in IOP). Symptoms may include blurred vision, halos around lights, eye pain, headache, nausea, and peripheral vision loss. Risk factors include age above 40, family history, diabetes, hypertension, prolonged steroid use, and myopia. Early diagnosis and management are essential to prevent optic nerve degeneration and permanent blindness.

Homoeopathy treats glaucoma by focusing on restoring the dynamic equilibrium of ocular circulation and reducing intraocular pressure through constitutional and local remedies. The selection of medicines depends on the type of glaucoma, symptom pattern, general constitution, and emotional profile.
Homoeopathic remedies help improve optic nerve nutrition, regulate intraocular fluid dynamics, and prevent progressive vision loss. While homoeopathy can effectively control early and chronic cases, collaboration with ophthalmologic care for regular monitoring of IOP is essential to prevent complications.

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Glaucoma

Severe Eye Pain with Diminished Vision – Belladonna

Congestion of eyes with throbbing pain, redness, dilated pupils, and sudden loss of vision. Suitable for acute congestive glaucoma with heat and fullness in the head.

Pain in Eyes Extending to Head with Nausea – Spigelia Anthelmia

Stitching or neuralgic pain around the eye radiating to the temple and head. Worse from motion or touch; better by lying still. Often indicated in left-sided ocular neuralgia and glaucoma.

Intense Congestive Pressure in Eyes – Physostigma Venenosum

Redness, dim vision, and heaviness with spasm of accommodation. Helps in reducing intraocular tension and restoring normal ocular tone in early glaucoma.

Blurred Vision with Eye Weakness and Pain – Gelsemium Sempervirens

Heaviness of eyelids, blurred sight, and double vision from eye strain. Indicated when glaucoma follows prolonged fatigue or nervous exhaustion.

Sudden Acute Glaucoma with Vomiting and Headache – Osmium

Severe pain over eyes, halos around light, and vomiting with extreme photophobia. Acts on optic nerve and reduces congestion and pressure.

Halo Around Lights and Constricted Pupils – Phosphorus

Visual weakness, colors appearing before eyes, halos around lights, and tendency to hemorrhage. Helps in optic nerve degeneration and pressure-related vision loss.

Burning, Smarting Eyes with Sensitivity to Light – Euphrasia Officinalis

Watery, burning eyes with dim sight. Indicated in mild to moderate intraocular pressure with eye strain and photophobia.

Congestive Pain, Worse at Night – Colocynthis

Severe neuralgic pain around eyes and forehead, better by warmth and pressure. Relieves ciliary neuralgia accompanying glaucoma.

Progressive Dimming of Vision – Phosphoric Acid

Vision gradually fades with weakness and dullness of mind. Useful in chronic, insidious cases of open-angle glaucoma with optic atrophy.

Eye Pain and Redness After Mental Strain – Nux Vomica

Eye tension and aching after long hours of study or computer work. Pupils dilated, sensitive to light. Best for early intraocular congestion from stress or stimulants.

Congestion of Eyes with Heaviness and Fullness – Aurum Metallicum

Severe eye strain with pressure behind the eyes and melancholy. Acts on optic nerve degeneration and high IOP associated with vascular tension.

Acute Glaucoma Following Suppressed Discharges – Sulphur

Pressure and burning in eyes with redness and dryness. Sensation as if sand in eyes. Indicated in chronic congestive glaucoma with recurring inflammation.

Heaviness and Pressure Deep in Eyes – Bryonia Alba

Eyes feel sore and tense, worse from motion, better by rest. Suited to subacute glaucoma or ocular hypertension after overstrain.

Chronic Congestive Glaucoma – Plumbum Metallicum

Progressive optic nerve atrophy with contraction of visual field. Suited to advanced glaucoma with visual narrowing and hard eyeballs.

Pains Deep in Eyes with Headache – Ruta Graveolens

Strain-induced eye pain, burning, and pressure behind the eyes, worse from close work. Strengthens ciliary muscles and improves ocular tone.

Ocular Pain with Restlessness and Burning – Arsenicum Album

Intense burning and dryness of eyes with anxiety and photophobia. Indicated in chronic glaucoma with irritation and weakness.

Increased Intraocular Pressure After Trauma – Symphytum Officinale

For post-traumatic glaucoma or ocular injury with soreness and dull pain. Promotes healing and prevents optic nerve strain.

Dullness of Vision, Dim Sight with Vertigo – Conium Maculatum

Vision blurred, pupils dilated, and vertigo when turning eyes. Acts on the optic nerve in early degenerative changes and senile glaucoma.

Eye Pain Alternating with Headache – Cactus Grandiflorus

Painful constriction around eyes and forehead as if bound by an iron band. Useful when glaucoma coexists with vascular tension or cardiac congestion.

Congestion with Retinal Hemorrhage – Hamamelis Virginica

Dull ache and pressure behind eyes with congestion and retinal bleeding. Excellent for vascular glaucoma with venous stasis.

Glaucoma is a progressive ocular disorder that requires early diagnosis and regular monitoring to prevent irreversible blindness. Homoeopathic management focuses on reducing intraocular pressure, improving optic nerve health, and relieving neuralgic pain. Remedies such as Belladonna, Physostigma, Osmium, Phosphorus, Aurum Metallicum, and Spigelia are most frequently indicated depending on symptom totality.
Supportive measures—eye rest, reduced screen time, stress control, adequate hydration, and regular ophthalmologic check-ups—enhance outcomes. With individualized homoeopathic therapy and timely supervision, glaucoma progression can be significantly controlled, preserving vision and overall ocular health.
