Weekends are a great time to relax. Have you considered meditation?
Several studies have shown that meditation can lower intraocular pressure and improve quality of life for people who have glaucoma by lowering stress hormones like cortisol. Click the link for the article explaining the connection.
Here at Vision Loss Alliance of New Jersey, we incorporate meditation into several classes in our Wellness Program. It’s very effective in creating a mind-body connection, lowering stress, and helping with an overall sense of well-being, not to mention the health benefits of lowering eye pressure.
Please consider our nonprofit on #givingTuesday so that we can continue offering a wide array of programs to help people with vision loss and blindness.
