 I went to the opthalmologist  on Monday, and during the
 course of a regular eye examination, they discovered that
 the pressure in my right eye is about 30.  From what I was
 said, this can lead to nerve damage and eventually glaucoma
 and all the joys that portends.  So I've got another
 appointment in a couple of months to get it looked at again,
 as well as to take photos of the nerves in my eyes, as they
 appear to be a bit cupped right now.
 I am, of course, concerned.
 My personal background: I am an overweight individual that
 get's a bit of exercise.  I am 40 years old with a somewhat
 sedintary job.  I have been trying to watch my weight, which
 for me means restricting the intake of fats and trying to
 get a bit more walking in, etc.
 I'd like to take care of this problem myself, or help in
 some way.  I understand that the fluid buildup in my eye may
 be the result of inadequate drainage, etc., from what the
 opthalmologist told me.
 Is there anything I can do to help decrease the amount of
 fluid, perhaps even get it to drain a bit more readily,
 etc., short of commercial drugs?  Any advice on diet or
 methods would be greatly appreciated in regards to this.
 I'd like to not develop glaucoma if I can avoid it . . . to
 paraphrase Woody Allen, my eyes are my third favorite organs
