Understanding Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a condition that primarily affects the optic nerve, the critical pathway that transmits visual information from the eye to the brain. The optic nerve plays a vital role in vision by carrying signals from the retina to the brain for processing. Here’s a basic overview of how Glaucoma impacts the eye:
- The Optic Nerve: This nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain. In Glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure (IOP) damages the optic nerve fibers over time, which can lead to vision loss and potentially blindness.
- The Aqueous Humor: This is the fluid inside the eye that helps maintain intraocular pressure and provides nutrients to the eye’s structures. In Glaucoma, the balance of production and drainage of this fluid is disrupted, leading to increased pressure within the eye.
- The Drainage System (Trabecular Meshwork and Schlemm’s Canal): This system is responsible for draining the aqueous humor from the eye. In Glaucoma, the drainage system may become obstructed or less effective, causing fluid to accumulate and increase pressure within the eye.
Understanding these components is essential for diagnosing and managing Glaucoma. Elevated intraocular pressure, if left untreated, can cause damage to the optic nerve, leading to gradual loss of peripheral vision and potentially affecting central vision as well. Early detection and regular eye exams are crucial for preserving vision and managing the condition effectively.
What goes wrong in Glaucoma?
In Glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure (IOP) leads to damage of the optic nerve, which is crucial for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain. The key issues include:
- Elevated Intraocular Pressure: In Glaucoma, fluid (aqueous humor) buildup inside the eye increases pressure. This elevated pressure can stress and damage the optic nerve over time.
- Impaired Fluid Drainage: The drainage system, which includes the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm’s canal, may become blocked or less effective. This prevents proper fluid outflow and contributes to higher pressure within the eye.
- Optic Nerve Damage: The increased pressure exerts stress on the optic nerve fibers, causing them to deteriorate. This damage leads to a gradual loss of peripheral vision, and if untreated, can progress to central vision loss.
- Reduced Blood Flow: High intraocular pressure can also impede blood flow to the optic nerve, further contributing to nerve damage and vision loss.
Visual Symptoms caused by Glaucoma
Progressively worsening symptoms can include:
Difficulty Adjusting to Darkness
Affected individuals may find it challenging to adapt to changes in lighting, such as moving from a bright area to a darker one, due to impaired vision adjustments.
Halos Around Lights
Glaucoma can cause light to appear as if it’s surrounded by halos or rainbow-colored rings, especially noticeable at night or in dim lighting.
Peripheral Vision Loss
Glaucoma often starts by affecting the peripheral (side) vision, leading to a gradual loss of your field of vision, which can make it seem like you’re looking through a tunnel.
Foggy and/or Blurred Vision
As the disease progresses, you may experience blurred vision or difficulty focusing, particularly in low-light conditions or at night.
Traditional Beliefs vs. Our Approach
Conventional medicine typically views Glaucoma as a condition primarily caused by elevated intraocular pressure, leading to damage of the optic nerve. Standard treatment focuses on lowering eye pressure through medications, laser therapy, or surgical procedures to prevent further damage and preserve remaining vision.
Based on our experience, we believe that a more comprehensive approach can enhance the management of Glaucoma. Specifically:
- Holistic Eye Health: We focus not just on managing intraocular pressure but also on overall eye health and systemic factors. We consider how various bodily functions, such as circulation and metabolism, may influence eye pressure and optic nerve health.
- Inflammation and Vascular Health: We observe that inflammation and vascular health can play a role in Glaucoma progression. By addressing these factors, we aim to support healthier blood flow to the optic nerve and reduce stress on the eye structures.
- Systemic Health and Lifestyle Factors: We integrate insights from traditional practices, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which emphasizes the balance of the body’s systems and their impact on eye health. For instance, we look at how lifestyle factors, diet, and overall systemic health contribute to managing intraocular pressure and optic nerve function.
- Personalized and Integrative Care: Our approach combines conventional methods with holistic and integrative practices to offer a well-rounded treatment plan tailored to individual needs. This includes managing intraocular pressure while also addressing overall eye and systemic health.
By blending these perspectives, we aim to provide a more comprehensive and effective approach to managing Glaucoma, potentially improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
Glaucoma. We can help.
Our Eye & Vision Restoration Therapy can be a valuable tool for managing Glaucoma. However, the degree of vision improvement can depend on several key factors:
- Severity of Optic Nerve Damage: The extent of damage to the optic nerve due to elevated intraocular pressure plays a crucial role in determining potential improvement.
- Level of Intraocular Pressure Control: How well intraocular pressure is managed and stabilized can influence the effectiveness of the therapy and the degree of vision preservation.
- Stage of Glaucoma: Early intervention and treatment generally lead to better outcomes. The stage of Glaucoma at the time of treatment affects the potential for improvement.
- Existing Visual Field Loss: The amount of vision already lost and the remaining healthy areas of the retina can impact how well treatment can restore or preserve vision.
At our clinic, we carefully assess your medical records and conduct a thorough evaluation to understand these factors. During your consultation, we will discuss the potential range of vision improvement specific to your case and the best approach for managing your condition.
While individual results may vary, we have seen positive responses to our Eye & Vision Restoration Therapy even in patients with advanced stages of Glaucoma. Most treatment benefits are stable, and repeat sessions can often lead to further progress in managing the condition and improving quality of life.

What Patients Are Saying
Within a few days my vision was back to my normal and I was able to drive.
Retinitis Pigmentosa
“I have been treating with Dr. Campbell for almost 2 years now for RP. When I first visited Dr. Campbell, my had worsened to the point of unable to drive (day or night), blurred vision and unable to see distance and had darkened vision. After my first treatment, by the time I left Dr. Campbell’s office, the blurriness, darkness was gone and I was able to see far distance. Within a few days my vision was back to my normal and I was able to drive. Continuing Dr. Campbell’s herbs and eye drops I have been doing very well with maintaining my vision.
Since I was going well and able to see when I ran out of the herb and eye drops I stopped talking them. Unfortunately, that was the worst thing I could have done. Unfortunately, my vision greatly decreased. I had lost my central vision, my vision was hazy and gray. I wasn’t able to see any writing on a piece of paper and my colors were off. I contacted Dr Campbell for another treatment Immediately I saw results I was able to see without a haze over my vision, I could see faces clearly. In a month or so my central vision came back! I’m able to see the digital clock on my stove again!!
I learned my lesson, keep up with my daily regimen of herbs and eye drops if I was to keep my vision. I am very grateful and thankful that I found Dr. Campbell who actually treats RP and doesn’t shut the door on you saying “Sorry, there is no treatment for this disease”. Dr. Campbell is proof that there is treatment, and I know first hand it works!
Dr, Campbell is a true Blessing!”

After the first session, I was able to see the colors red, pink, orange, white and black.
Retinitis Pigmentosa
“I am a 56-year-old woman with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). I have been advised that RP is a degenerative retinal disease, and that a person who has RP will eventually lose all vision and go blind.
At the age of 18, I had a retinal detachment in the left eye. After surgery in that eye, my vision never returned. I have only light perception in the left eye. My vision in the right eye was stable throughout the years until the age of 43. My peripheral vision was slowly degrading and all color vision was gone. I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and have seen only black and white for the past 13 years.
Dr. Campbell began treating me on December 9, 2015. After the first session, I was able to see the colors red, pink, orange, white and black. I was so excited and amazed. Also, I saw most of the letters, numbers and color symbols on a deck of playing cards.
On the second day of treatment I slowly noticed the creamy yellow tone of the exam room wall. The colors seemed to slowly come through. I started seeing violet, dark blue and even shiny silver.
When I returned home, I decided to test my color vision. I saw the green, orange, red and even gold with silver sparkles on the Christmas balls. Also, when I looked at the sky I asked my husband if it was a grey blue. He confirmed it. From my apartment balcony I noticed the boats docked in the marina. They were very blurry, but I could make out the direction they were facing. At night, I saw part of the bridge, lights and quick flashes of cars crossing.
I expect to continue treatment with Dr. Campbell and eventually hope to have functional and maybe independent mobility.”
