In first of its type study was conducted by researchers at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE). Found that the following low carbohydrate diet (Keto diet) which is high in protein and fat may lower the risk of Glaucoma.
The more common type is primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). POAG is the leading cause of optic nerve degeneration with the level of pressure inside the eye. But other factors contribute to this condition as well.
“A diet high in carbohydrates and low in protein and fats cause the production of metabolites. Favorable for mitochondrion-rich optic nerve head. Which is the site of damage in POAG. This pattern of high carbohydrates patters also showed favorable results for epilepsy. and showed some results for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases,” said co-corresponding author Louis R. Pasquale, MD, FARVO, Deputy Chair for Ophthalmology Research for the Mount Sinai Health System.
“It’s important to note that a low-carbohydrate diet(keto diet) won’t stop glaucoma progression. If you already have it, but it may be a means to preventing glaucoma in high-risk groups. If more patients. in these high-risk categories-including those with a family history of glaucoma-adhered to this diet, there might be fewer cases of vision loss.”
