Question 4

16:26 – 24:34

Good afternoon, Dr. Berne.  I am a 32 year-old Caucasian male. I have always had extreme myopia and was diagnosed with  pigmentary dispersion syndrome at about 25. I have been to glaucoma specialists who have given me medically aggressive, yet highly unreliable procedures to treat it.  I have attempted some natural treatments for this including eye-washes, juicing carrots, and various herbs. None have been successful.  I am currently on meds, yet fear that I am developing a tolerance and I will need to continue to increase in amounts and strengths endlessly.  From what I understand, this disease is fairly rare, and is not treated the same way as regular glaucoma.  Have you had any success treating it?  Can you offer a natural, holistic way to manage it, without needing to be a lifelong meds user?  Thanks so much.
