Can You Help Your Eyes With More Oxygen?

June 23, 2018

Yes, more oxygen helps your eyes. There are so many ways to do this. We have seen people with macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease benefit from a regular practice of mindful breathing, breathing slower and more fully than you usually do. People also report benefits with more aggressive therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen or high tension oxygen therapy with 8 L per minute via a mask or nasal cannula. Finally, there is a treatment called Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT), if you have access to the equipment.
