Could a Low-Carb Diet Reduce Your Risk of Glaucoma?
Recently, an eye doctor at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE) conducted a unique research study exploring the potential link between long-term dietary changes and preventing primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The study’s results indicated that if people at a high risk of developing glaucoma eat a diet that’s low in carbohydrates and high in fat and vegetable protein, they may lower their risk of this sight-threatening ocular disease by 20 percent. These results were published in Eye-Nature (July 22 issue).

In 1824, 15-year-old Louis Braille created a reading and writing system for the blind and visually impaired, known as braille, in which raised dots represent the letters of the alphabet.
