seawater eyedrops

Seawater eyedrops are a natural therapeutic intervention being investigated by the American Society of Thermalism and Climatology for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The treatment involves the daily ophthalmic administration of seawater, hypothesized to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) and prevent the progression of glaucoma through the action of trace minerals and osmotic properties. In clinical studies, it has been evaluated both as a monotherapy and in combination with Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF), a reparative technique intended to increase blood flow to the eye. This intervention is part of the study of natural therapeutic factors, including seawater and climate-based treatments, rather than a traditional pharmaceutical drug.
