NCT05605743

Brief Summary

Hypertension, particularly if poorly controlled, appears related to an increased risk of open angle glaucoma, (the high tension type of glaucoma is characterized as optic nerve degeneration with ocular hypertension). so this study will search response of glaucoma to breathing exercise

Study Arms (2)

Exercised group

EXPERIMENTAL

Thirty hypertensive geriatric with high tension type primary open angle glaucoma will perform breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing). The daily breathing exercise will be performed by the geriatrics in evening (for half an hour) and morning (for half an hour) for one month.

Behavioral: breathing exercise

control group

NO INTERVENTION

this will be a thirty-patient wait-list group that will no receive any shape of training
