Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

Exercised group

Arm Description

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.

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

5. Study Description

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
Detailed Description
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). With a random assignment, sixty hypertensive geriatric with high tension type primary open angle glaucoma will be assigned to breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing) group (n=30 geriatrics) or waiting list geriatrics. the daily breathing exercise will be performed by the geriatrics in evening (for half an hour) and morning (for half an hour).
