| How to Organize Jewelry in a Drawer Posted: 13 May 2020 01:00 AM PDT If you've been looking for a way to organize your jewelry, placing it in your drawer in a jewelry organizer is a great way to keep it sorted and in good condition. Look through your jewelry and get rid of pieces you don't want anymore before purchasing a jewelry organizer with compartments for each piece. You can even get creative and make your own containers to put in the drawer from things like egg cartons or unused tea cups. [Edit]Choosing a Storage Organizer - Go through your jewelry and only keep the necessary pieces. Gather all of your jewelry together so you can go through it. Get rid of any pieces that you're not going to wear, as well as pieces that are broken. Consider donating pieces that aren't broken to a local charity or second-hand store for them to use.[1]
- Get rid of any earrings that are missing a match, too.
- Measure your drawer so you know what size organizer to purchase. Use a measuring tape to take the measurements of the drawer you're planning on storing your jewelry in, writing down the length, width, and depth on a piece of paper. This will tell you what size jewelry organizers to look for, making sure that the one you choose will fit in your drawer.
- When you're looking at jewelry organizers, pay attention to the dimensions listed on the packaging to see if they will fit in your drawer.
- Purchase a jewelry organizer with separate compartments. Once you know how much jewelry you have to store, decide on which jewelry organizer will fit all of your pieces. Look for jewelry organizers that go in drawers at your local big box store or home goods store, choosing one that has the compartments for each different type of jewelry that you own.[2]
- Velvet-lined jewelry organizers are the best material option as they prevent your jewelry from moving in their compartments.
- Use clear plastic jewelry inserts for a cheaper storage option. Things like costume jewelry can be placed in plastic jewelry organizers because they're less likely to become damaged than your more valuable or sentimental pieces. Look for plastic jewelry organizers that come with different compartments at your local big box store or online, often costing much less than a wooden jewelry organizer or one lined with velvet.[3]
- Stacking clear plastic jewelry inserts on top of one another will make it easier to see pieces of jewelry on the bottom row.
- Try velvet-lined trays to protect your pieces of jewelry. If you're worried about your jewelry getting scratched or damaged by a plastic organizer, pick out one that's lined with velvet or some other type of similar material. The velvet keeps the pieces of jewelry from sliding around and acts as a layer of protection against the organizer.[4]
- Look for velvet-lined jewelry organizers at your local home goods store or online.
- Velvet-lined trays are perfect for special gems or sentimental keepsakes.
- Place shallow jewelry inserts into a drawer with a shorter depth. Many top drawers of dressers aren't as deep as the other drawers, making it harder to fit large collections of things all in one drawer. Luckily, many stores sell shallow jewelry organizers that will still hold your pieces of jewelry while also fitting in your drawer.[5]
- You might even purchase multiple shallow jewelry inserts and stack them on top of one another if your drawer allows it.
- Look for shallow jewelry inserts at your local home goods store or online.
- Stack organizers on top of one another if you have small, deep drawers. If you have a large jewelry collection and dresser drawers that are fairly deep, use multiple jewelry organizers stacked on top of one another to keep all of your jewelry organized. This makes it easy to find any piece that you'd like by simply lifting up the top tray to reach the bottom one.[6]
- Store pieces that you don't wear as often on the bottom tray and jewelry that you wear most often on the top tray.
- Look for jewelry organizers that are built to be stacked, or purchase two identical jewelry organizers to stack them easily on top of one another.
- Place expandable jewelry trays in dressers with a large drawer. If your dresser drawer is large and wide, get creative with your organizer, choosing a large one with lots of different compartments. You might pick out one organizer just for rings and earrings, and another organizer just for bracelets and necklaces.[7]
- Look at the different size options for jewelry organizers to find one that fits your needs.
- If your drawer is big enough, place each organizer tray next to each other in the drawer.
- You may need to check the total dimensions of the tray when it's fully expanded if you plan on opening it while the tray is in the drawer.
[Edit]Organizing Your Jewelry Collection - Group similar pieces together when placing them in the drawer. This includes things like bracelets with bracelets or necklaces with necklaces. Sectioning your jewelry so that similar items are placed together will make it faster and easier to find the pieces you're looking for when you're getting ready.[8]
- You might group pieces of jewelry that you wear often together and other pieces that are only worn on rare occasions together.
- Group pieces of jewelry that are more expensive together, or place all of your gold pieces with other gold pieces, silver pieces with other silver pieces, and so on.
- Place pieces of jewelry in the organizer depending on their size and shape. Most jewelry organizers come with compartments in different shapes and sizes for different pieces of jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, or earrings. Place each piece of jewelry in the box that fits its shape: necklaces go in long and skinny boxes, bracelets go in square boxes, and earrings or rings go in the smallest boxes.[9]
- Some organizers may also have foam in them designed for inserting rings and earrings.
- Give each piece of jewelry its own spot to avoid any damage. Try not to clump several pieces of jewelry on top of each other when you're placing them in the jewelry organizer. This prevents pieces from getting tangled together or broken. When you place your jewelry in the organizer, give each piece its own box or separated storage space to keep them looking their best.[10]
- Some things, like rings, can be stored together in one box of the organizer since they don't get tangled.
- Place necklaces in the organizer so that they're spread out in one long strand, putting each necklace in a different long box of the organizer.
- Display extra pieces of jewelry on top of the dresser. If you run out of storage space in your drawer or just want to display statement pieces of jewelry, place these pieces on top of your dresser. Put them in a glass case or hang them on a jewelry stand to store just a few pieces for a minimalist look.[11]
- For example, if you have a couple necklaces that are too bulky for your drawer jewelry organizer, hang these pieces on a necklace stand on your dresser to show them off.
[Edit]Creating Homemade Organizers - Use styrofoam egg crates to hold earrings or rings. Recycle an old styrofoam egg carton by rinsing it off before cutting the top off using scissors. Place the egg carton in your drawer, and separate your pieces of jewelry using each individual egg spot.[12]
- For example, place a pair of earrings in each compartment or 1 or 2 rings in each space.
- Rinse the styrofoam with dish soap and warm water to remove any leftover egg bacteria before you place your jewelry in it.
- Keep necklaces from tangling using clear plastic straws. Use scissors to make a cut in a straw going down its entire length. Place the necklace inside the straw so it's stretched out completely, keeping it from getting tangled.[13]
- Place the straws containing necklaces in a flat, shallow basket in the drawer for even more organization.
- Place unused teacups in the drawer to hold bracelets. If you have a collection of old teacups or small bowls, place them in the drawer lined up against one another. Set your bracelets or other large pieces of jewelry in each teacup or bowl, separating them so they don't get tangled and are easily recognizable.[14]
- Teacups are also great for holding watches or rings.
- Look around the house for items you can turn into containers. Jewelry organizers are all around you, from empty mint containers to pieces of ceramic art. Look through your drawers full of random nicknacks for small items you can use as containers to hold necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or watches.
- Other ideas include using empty pill containers, yogurt containers, tin cans, or small cardboard boxes.

| How to Quiet a Cough Naturally Posted: 12 May 2020 05:00 PM PDT A persistent cough can be annoying and uncomfortable! Not only is it distressing for you, but it may also disturb others around you. Your brain forces you to cough whenever it detects an irritant or blockage in your throat. If you want to quiet your cough, you need to soothe the irritation or remove the blockage. Luckily, this is easy to do no matter where you are. Occasional bouts of coughing are totally normal, but see your doctor if a cough persists for more than 3-4 weeks or if you develop severe symptoms like fever and wheezing. [Edit]Soothing a Cough in Public - Suck on ice chips, hard candy, or lozenges to comfort an irritated throat. Keep a glass of ice chips by your side and suck on a few whenever you need some relief. Popping a lozenge, hard candy, or cough drop can also soothe your throat and quiet a persistent cough when you're out and about.[1]
- Lozenges made with real honey may provide additional soothing properties, but most expensive medicine-flavored cough drops aren't any better at providing relief than inexpensive lozenges or hard candies.[2]
- You can buy lozenges and cough drops at grocery stores and pharmacies.
- Never give lozenges to children under the age of 4 to prevent choking.
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and reduce irritation. Simply drinking some water can help reduce a nagging cough, especially in dry surroundings, because it is soothing as it travels down your throat. Liquids also prevent the lining of your nostrils and throat from drying out and keeps mucus moist so that it's easier for you to get rid of.[3]
- Water is the best choice, but unsweetened fruit juices, decaffeinated herbal teas, and sports drinks are fine in moderation.
- Avoid caffeinated beverages like coffee, black tea, and soft drinks, as well as alcoholic beverages.
- Drink soothing warm beverages like hot tea to quiet a cough. Stick with decaffeinated teas and caffeine-free herbal teas. Simply brew up your favorite kind and enjoy a mug of it as often as you'd like throughout the day. If you aren't usually a tea drinker, you might try out herbal varieties like peppermint, ginger, or chamomile.[4]
- Drinking warm soup broths can also provide comfort.[5]
- Caffeine is dehydrating and may ultimately worsen your cough.
- Stirring in a small amount of honey or fresh lemon juice may provide additional soothing properties. They also taste delicious in a warm mug of tea!
- Avoid cigarettes and other throat irritants to reduce coughing. Exposure to smoke, dust, fumes, and other pollutants can irritate your throat and lungs. Avoid smoking cigarettes, second-hand smoke, and spending time in areas where you're likely to breathe pollutants.[6]
- Chemical cleaning products can irritate your throat and worsen a cough.[7]
[Edit]Reducing a Cough at Home - Elevate your head while you sleep to prevent postnasal drip. Place 1-2 extra pillows under your head so it stays propped up during the night. This upright position prevents mucus from trickling down your throat, which is often the culprit if coughing tends to wake you up during the night.[8]
- Take a hot shower to moisten your airways. The steam from a hot shower can lubricate your throat and reduce a cough. Jump into a hot shower and breathe in the steam for about 20 minutes. Be sure to take slow, deep breaths.[9]
- If you don't want to get in the water, just close the bathroom door and breathe in the steam that fills the room.
- Use a cool mist humidifier or vaporizer to add moisture to the air. Fill your machine with distilled water and position it at least 3–4 ft (0.91–1.22 m) from your bed. You can run the machine several times per day or during the night while you're sleeping, but avoid constant use. Don't forget to drain and clean your humidifier or vaporizer every day so bacteria doesn't grow inside of it.[10]
- Running a humidifier or vaporizer 24/7 encourages mold and mildew growth.
- Avoid using tap water in your humidifier. The machine will turn minerals in tap water into a white dust and release into the air. Breathing in this dust can cause coughing and breathing problems.
- Gargle with warm salt water to relieve a sore throat. Stir 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (1 to 2 grams) of table salt into 4 to 8 ounces (118 to 236 ml) of warm water. Tilt your head back and gargle with the solution for about 1 minute. Then, spit the salt water out into your sink.[11]
- Avoid swallowing salt water. It can make you sick to your stomach.
- Salt water gargles are safe for anyone over the age of 6.
- Flush your sinuses and reduce mucus with saline nasal drops. Stand over a sink and angle your head downward. Place the tip of the bottle in 1 nostril and spray. Rotate your head back and allow the solution to drip back out of your nose naturally. Repeat the process for your other nostril.[12]
- Getting rid of mucus prevents it from going down your throat, which will force you to cough it up.
- Blow your nose gently to remove any leftover saline solution when you're done.
- You can buy saline nasal drops over-the-counter at most pharmacies and grocery stores.
- Irrigate your sinuses with a Neti pot to prevent postnasal drip. Fill a Neti pot with distilled water and stir saline powder into it until it dissolves. Tilt your head to the side and put the spout of the Neti pot in your upper nostril. Breathe through your mouth and slowly pour the solution into the nostril. The liquid should come out of your lower nostril in 3-4 seconds. Repeat the process in your other nostril.[13]
- Blow your nose gently when you're done to clear any leftover solution.
- Clean your Neti pot thoroughly between uses to prevent germs and bacteria from entering your nasal passages the next time you use it.
- If you must use tap water, be sure to boil it first to kill bacteria and organisms. Let the water cool before using it.
[Edit]When to Seek Medical Care - See your doctor if your cough doesn't go away in 3 to 4 weeks. A chronic cough can be caused by many common issues, like allergies, asthma, GERD, or some other underlying illness, so it's best to have your doctor evaluate you and formally diagnose the problem. A chest X-ray or lung function test may be recommended.[14]
- You may have a bacterial infection, which can be treated with prescription antibiotics.
- Visit your doctor immediately if you develop more severe symptoms. Wheezing, fever, and coughing up thick, greenish-yellow phlegm usually indicate an infection in the chest or lungs. It's best to see your doctor as soon as possible so you won't prolong your recovery. Antibiotics or some other treatment may be prescribed. Call your doctor if you have the following severe symptoms:[15]
- Fever higher than
- Coughing up green or yellow phlegm
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Get emergency care if you're having trouble breathing or swallowing. If you're struggling to breathe, it's time to go to the ER. Let the ER doctor know how long you've had the cough, as well as any other symptoms you're experiencing. You should seek emergency medical care for the following symptoms:[16]
- Choking or vomiting
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Bloody or pink-tinged phlegm
- Chest pain
- See your doctor immediately if you're having coughing fits or gasping. These symptoms may mean you have a more serious condition, like whooping cough. Ask your doctor for a same-day appointment or go to an urgent care center to make sure you're okay. They can find out what's causing your cough and offer you the right treatment.[17]
- Whooping cough is highly contagious and requires medical treatment, so don't hesitate to see your doctor if you experience these symptoms.

| How to Lower Eye Pressure Without Drops Posted: 12 May 2020 09:00 AM PDT Ocular hypertension is one of the most widespread conditions that affects the eyes. It occurs when there is a higher level of fluid pressure (intraocular pressure) in the eyes than usual. Glaucoma, and even permanent vision impairment, can occur if ocular hypertension is ignored, therefore it's important to take action against the condition. Ocular hypertension is defined as having high intraocular pressure without vision loss or optic nerve abnormality, which would indicate glaucoma. An eye care specialist can check for this during a routine eye exam. Eye drops are usually one of the first treatments used to treat high eye pressure, but unfortunately they do not work for everyone.[1] [Edit]Modifying Diet and Lifestyle - Lower your body's insulin levels. Individuals who suffer from conditions such as obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure often become resistant to insulin, which actually causes the body to produce more insulin. These high insulin levels have been linked to increased eye pressure.[2]
- To solve this problem, patients are advised to avoid certain foods that can trigger an abrupt increase in insulin levels. These foods include: sugar, grains (whole and organic), breads, pasta, rice, cereal and potatoes.
- Exercise for 30 minutes on most days of the week. Talk with your doctor about starting an exercise routine to ensure that it's safe for you to do so. Regularly engaging in exercises like aerobics, jogging, brisk walking, biking and strength training may help to to lower your body's insulin levels, thus protecting your eyes from ocular hypertension.[3]
- Avoid exercises and positions that place you in a head-down position, as this can increase intraocular pressure. This includes some yoga positions, such as headstands.
- Include dietary omega-3 fatty acids. To boost your DHA levels, try to eat to 2-3 servings of these kinds of fish each week. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a type of omega-3 fatty acid that maintains healthy retinal function and prevents pressure from building up in the eyes.[4]
- DHA (and other omega-3 fatty acids) are found in cold water fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, sardines, shellfish and herring.
- Consume more foods containing lutein and zeaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, which work as antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals. These free radicals weaken the immune system, which can lead to infection and damage to the optic nerves.[5]
- Lutein and zeaxanthin also help to lower eye pressure by reducing oxidative damage around the optic nerve. This is important, as any damage in the optic nerve increases eye pressure.
- Foods that contain excellent sources of lutein and zeaxanthin include kale, spinach, collard greens, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and raw egg yolks. Try to include at least one of these foods in every major meal of the day.
- Avoid trans fats. As mentioned above, omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce intraocular pressure. However, foods that are high in trans fats prevent the omega-3s from working properly, which can lead to increased eye pressure. As a result, it's a good idea to limit your intake of foods rich in trans fats. These foods include:[6]
- Packaged cookies, crackers, cakes, and other baked goods
- Fried foods
- Margarine
- Eat more antioxidants. Dark colored berries, such as blueberries, blackberries, and bilberries, help to improve the overall health of the eyes by reinforcing the capillaries that transmit nutrients to the eye nerves and muscles. This is due to the fact that dark-colored berries contain antioxidants that help to strengthen blood vessels. This reduces the chances of blood vessels hemorrhaging and causing damage.[7]
- Try to eat at least 1 portion of dark-colored berries per day.
- Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant and is used to prevent and treat a number of eye disorders, including glaucoma and increased eye pressure. Dosage is usually 75mg twice a day.[8]
- Bilberry is very commonly used to increase visual acuity and combat degenerative eye diseases, including ocular hypertension. One study on a specific product containing bilberry and pycnogenol (an extract from pine bark) was clinically shown to lower eye pressure.[9]
- Grapeseed extract is an antioxidant and has been successfully used to reduce eye stress due to glare. Grapeseed extract is commonly used to combat signs of aging and improve night vision.[10]
- Limit or avoid caffeine. Consuming a large amount of caffeine can increase ocular pressure, so it's best to only consume caffeinated beverages and foods in moderation. Cut back on the amount of coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, chocolate, and any other caffeinated food and drinks. You may even want to completely eliminate these items from your diet for 1 month or more to see if this helps to reduce your eye pressure.[11]
- Take a daily multivitamin for nutritional insurance. Although there is no convincing evidence that vitamins may help to prevent glaucoma, taking a daily multivitamin might be helpful for you if you don't get a balanced diet. Look for a vitamin that contains 100% of your daily value of the following:[12]
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B-complex
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Zinc
[Edit]Undergoing Surgery - Discuss surgery for persistent ocular pressure. If high pressure persists, it can cause damage to the optic nerve, leading to an eye condition called glaucoma.[13] Over time, glaucoma can lead to vision loss. Glaucoma is usually treated using a combination of eye drops and oral medications. However, if these measures don't work, surgery will be necessary to lower pressure in the eyes.[14]
- Surgery for glaucoma helps to improve the flow of fluid within the eyes, lowering eye pressure as a result. Sometimes, a single surgery will not be enough to adequately relieve eye pressure and treat glaucoma. In this situation, a follow-up surgery may be necessary.
- There are several types of surgery used to treat glaucoma, depending on the severity of the condition.
- Ask your doctor about drainage implants for severe cases. Drainage implants are usually used to treat high eye pressure in children and in people with advanced glaucoma. During the procedure, a small tube is inserted into the eye to facilitate the drainage of fluid. Once the fluid is drained, pressure in the eye is reduced.[15]
- Consider getting laser surgery as an effective alternative to eyedrops. Trabeculoplasty is a type of laser surgery that uses a high-energy laser beam to open blocked drainage canals in the eyes, allowing the excess fluid to drain. This procedure is normally performed on an outpatient basis. After the surgery, eye pressure is checked periodically to ensure that the procedure was successful.[16]
- Another type of laser surgery is iridotomy. This type of laser is used in people with very narrow drainage angles in the eyes. During this procedure, a small hole is created on the top part of the iris to allow for the drainage of fluid.
- If laser iridotomy doesn't work, peripheral iridotomy may be done. This procedure involves removing a small part of the iris to improve fluid drainage. This type of surgery is relatively rare.
- Talk with an eye surgeon about filtering surgery. Trabeculectomy is a type of surgical procedure used as a last resort in the treatment of high eye pressure if eye drops and laser surgery remain unsuccessful.[17]
- In this procedure, a surgeon creates an opening in the sclera (the white part of the eye) and removes a small piece of tissue in the base of the cornea. This allows fluid to flow freely from the eye, resulting in reduced pressure.
- The procedure is done in one eye and is repeated in the other eye several weeks later, if necessary. Additional treatments may be required following this procedure as the opening might become blocked or closed up again.
[Edit]Performing Relaxation Exercises - Practice blinking every 3 to 4 seconds. Relax and refresh the eyes by making a conscious effort to blink every 3 to 4 seconds, over a 2 minute period. Use a watch to time yourself, if necessary. This will relieve some of the pressure on your eyes, leaving them ready to process new information.[18]
- People have a tendency to avoid blinking when working on a computer, watching television or playing video games. This puts a lot of strain on the eyes.
- Cover your eye with the palm of your hand. Place your right hand over your right eye, resting your fingers against your forehead and the heel of your hand against your cheekbone. Don't apply any pressure. Keep the hand in place for 30 seconds to a minute, blinking freely throughout. Uncover your right eye, then use your left hand to cover your left eye and repeat.[19]
- Covering your eye with the palm of your hand helps to relax both the eye and the mind, relieving stress and allowing you to blink freely.
- Trace an imaginary figure 8 with your eyes. Imagine a big number 8 on the wall in front of you, turned onto its side. Use your eyes to trace this number 8, without moving your head. Keep doing this for 1-2 minutes. If you're having difficulty imagining a sideways 8, draw one on a large piece of paper and stick it on the wall. You can trace this with your eyes instead.[20]
- This exercise helps to strengthen your eye muscles and increase their flexibility, making them less prone to injury and high pressure.
- Practice focusing your eyes on both near and faraway objects. Find a relaxing place to sit, without any distractions. Hold your thumb approximately in front of your face and focus your eyes on it. Focus on your thumb for five to 10 seconds, then switch your focus to another object, between away from you. Alternate between focusing on your thumb and focusing on the far away object for 1-2 minutes.[21]
- This exercise helps to strengthen the eye muscles and improve your overall vision.
- Focus on your thumb and move it towards and away from your eyes. Stretch one hand directly out in front of you, then stick up your thumb. Focus both eyes on the thumb, then slowly move your thumb towards you until it is about away from your face. Move your thumb away from you again, keeping both eyes on it at all times. Continue to focus on your moving thumb for 1-2 minutes.
- This exercise improves your focusing skills and also helps to strengthens your eye muscles.
- Look into biofeedback to alleviate eye pressure. Biofeedback teaches you to control normal bodily processes, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. A biofeedback therapist can teach you proper technique so you can begin to practice on your own.[22]
[Edit]Seeking Medical Help - See an eye specialist for a diagnosis. High eye pressure (medically known as ocular hypertension) is difficult to diagnose, as it does not show any visible symptoms such as redness or eye pain. A diagnosis cannot be made using visual examination alone, so you will need to have your eyes examined by an eye specialist. He will use a combination of methods to identify ocular hypertension.
 - Tonometry. This procedure is used to measure intraocular pressure in the eyes and gauge whether the level of pressure is still within normal limits. The eye is numbed and then an orange dye is inserted to help the specialist identify the level of pressure. A machine is used to measure the pressure in the eye by applying pressure to the eye. However, it's important to take the corneal thickness into account as people with thicker corneas may show falsely higher measurements.[23]
- A reading of 21mmHg or higher usually indicates the presence of ocular hypertension. It's rare for someone with a reading of 30 mmHg or less to have glaucoma. However, other conditions can affect this reading, such as head or eye injuries or a buildup of blood behind the cornea.
- Air puff. With this procedure, the patient is asked to look straight into an apparatus while the specialist shines a light into the eye. The apparatus then sends a quick puff of air directly into the eye. A special machine reads the pressure by assessing the changes in the light reflections upon the strike of air into the eye.
- Discuss potential causes of the condition with your doctor. Ocular hypertension is associated with increasing age along with other factors. Several factors may contribute to the development of ocular hypertension, including:[24]
- Excessive aqueous production. Aqueous humor is a transparent liquid manufactured in the eye. It drains from the eye by means of the trabecular meshwork. If excessive aqueous humor is produced, the pressure in the eye increases.
- Inadequate aqueous drainage. Improper drainage of aqueous humor can lead to increased eye pressure.
- Certain medications. Certain drugs (such as steroids) can cause ocular hypertension, especially in people with pre-existing risk factors.
- Eye trauma. Any irritation or injury to the eye can affect the balance of aqueous production and drainage from the eye and may result in increased eye pressure.[25]
- Other eye conditions. Ocular hypertension is usually linked with other eye ailments such as pseudo exfoliation syndrome, corneal arcus, and dispersion syndrome.
- Identify your risk factors for ocular hypertension. Anyone can develop high eye pressure, but studies show that the following groups are at increased risk of developing the condition:
- African-Americans.
- Individuals over the age of 40.
- Persons with a family history of ocular hypertension and glaucoma.
- People with thinner central corneal thickness measurements.[5]
[Edit]Warnings - Some of the fish recommended for increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids contain low level of mercury, but limited servings will not cause any harm to individuals. However, certain precautions must be taken by pregnant women or those hoping to conceive. They are advised to avoid eating king mackerel, tilefish, swordfish and shark.
- If you are already on a drop for your intraocular pressure, you should not stop it without discussing it with your ophthalmologist.
