In this video, we explore the potential role of high-dose vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in the management of glaucoma, including mechanisms, risks, and current evidence. We review scientific studies, animal models, and clinical perspectives to answer the central question: Is high-dose vitamin D3 a viable adjunct or alternative therapy for glaucoma? Topics include intraocular pressure (IOP), neuroprotection, inflammation, retinal ganglion cell survival, and safety considerations.
The biological plausibility for vitamin D3’s effect on ocular pressure / intraocular pressure (IOP)
Evidence from observational studies linking serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) with glaucoma risk and progression
Mechanisms: anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and modulation of trabecular meshwork outflow
Animal and laboratory research supporting protective effects in glaucoma models
Contradictory evidence and null findings: limitations, risks, and methodological gaps
Safety, toxicity, dosage concerns, and cautions before trying high-dose vitamin D3
Practical takeaways, future research directions, and caution about replacing standard glaucoma therapies

Always consult an ophthalmologist, glaucoma specialist, or healthcare provider before altering your vitamin D supplementation, glaucoma treatment, or taking any high-dose supplements. Never discontinue prescribed eye drops or glaucoma surgery based solely on this content.
