  • Glaucoma: A hidden threat to vision health rising swiftly - September 2023 MDEdge
    • "Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting 3 million people in the United States, and yet half of those affected are unaware, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
    • "Five % of 70-year-olds had the disease, and half of those did not know they had it before they took part in the study."
    • "Five percent of 560 70-year-olds had the disease, and half of those did not know they had it before they took part in the study."
  • Glaucoma in the African American and Hispanic Communities: What We Know in 2023
    • "Adjusting for age, African Americans were 3 to 4 times more likely to have a diagnosis of glaucoma compared to Caucasians."
  • Note: One indication that a disease is related to Vitamin D is if it is more prominent in people with dark skin (they get less D from the sun)

Note: Topical Vitamin D gets 100X more vitamin D to the topical spot than oral Vitamin D

Topical Vitamin D examples:

  • Nanoemulsion drops on eye lids or perhaps on eyes
  • Vitamin D spray on eye lids
  • Ultraviolet light (with closed eyes)
