Question
What are the dietary precautions for glaucoma patients? Can they eat seafood?
Answer
Glaucoma patients should avoid spicy and irritating foods and should also avoid drinking water excessively all at once to prevent increased intraocular pressure. Seafood can be consumed in moderate amounts without any adverse effects on glaucoma. Patients should regularly measure their intraocular pressure at the hospital, rest adequately, and reduce overtime work and the use of electronic devices.
