Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. It causes increased pressure within the eyeball, compressing the optic nerve and potentially leading to blindness. Dr. Eric Berg points out that glaucoma may be an autoimmune disease, and vitamin D is a key nutrient for regulating immune responses .

🧠The potential relationship between glaucoma and the immune system
· Glaucoma patients may have vitamin D receptor abnormalities , leading to an imbalance in the immune system.
· An autoimmune response causes T cells to attack the body's own tissues , leading to inflammation and damage to the optic nerve.
· Vitamin D helps suppress excessive immune responses → reduces inflammation and protects eye tissues.
🧪The mechanism by which Vitamin D fights glaucoma
| Function | illustrate |
| Inhibit T cell overactivity | Reduce autoimmune attacks on the optic nerve |
| Reduce inflammatory response | Reduce intraocular pressure-related tissue damage |
| Regulating calcium absorption and metabolism | To prevent calcium from depositing in blood vessels or eyes |
| Supports eye cell repair | Helps maintain retinal and optic nerve health |
📈High-dose vitamin D therapy (requires doctor supervision )
· Recommended dosage: 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 per kilogram of body weight per day.
o For example: 84 kg → 84,000 IU / day
· Target blood concentration: 100–150 ng/mL (significantly higher than generally recommended values )
· Simultaneously monitor parathyroid hormone ( PTH ) levels ; a decrease indicates that vitamin D has successfully activated receptors .
⚠️ High-dose vitamin D supplementation
· Avoid calcium supplements → Reduce the risk of calcium deposition
· Reduce intake of high-calcium foods
· Drinking 2.5 liters of water daily can help prevent kidney stones .
· Supplementing with Vitamin K2 : 100 mcg of K2 per 10,000 IU of Vitamin D.
· Magnesium supplementation : Approximately 600 mg daily → aids calcium metabolism and reduces side effects
🧾Conclusion: Stop relying solely on eye drops; proper nutrition is key to truly combating glaucoma.
Hong Kong residents often suffer from a lack of sunlight and insufficient vitamin D intake. Glaucoma may not just be a problem of intraocular pressure, but a reflection of an imbalance in the immune system . Starting today, take a high-quality vitamin D tablet, supplement with K2 and magnesium, and develop a habit of monitoring PTH to lay a solid foundation for your vision !
Don't be trapped by the myth that health is "incurable." True health comes from understanding how to regulate your immune system, supplement your nutrition, and prevent illness! 💪👁️ ☀️
