Rules for Glaucoma Patients 1. Carefully follow your eye physician's instructions and remember especially to return for reexamination at the appointed time. 2. Consult him at once if you see rainbow-colored halos around lights, if the eye becomes painful, or the vision is blurred, or sight impaired in any way at all. 3. Avoid as much as possible excitement, anger, worry, fear or disappointment. 4. Take care that bowel movements are regular. 5. Avoid tight-fitting clothes—a tight collar, corset, or belt. 6. Keep your blood circulation active. If occupation compels you to sit the entire day, take a long but not too tiring walk before and after work. 7. Keep your teeth clean and healthy; pay attention to acute or chronic colds. 8. Limit drinking coffee and tea (not too strong) to one cup a day. Avoid alcoholic drinks. 9. Keep bedroom well ventilated and at a moderate temperature; around 70 degrees (Fahrenheit). 10. Avoid dark rooms as much as possible. Go to movies only if your eye physician permits. Remain at the movies for only one feature and, if possible, choose subjects that are not depressing or up setting for you. 11. Do not use any drops or eye washes without consulting your eye physician. They may be very harmful. 12. Have a periodic (yearly) examination of your entire body by your family physician.
