A client with a new diagnosis of glaucoma is concerned about going blind. To help prevent blindness due to glaucoma, the nurse should instruct the client to implement which action(s)? Select all that apply.

A. Schedule regular appointments to measure eye pressures: Glaucoma is managed by controlling intraocular pressure, and routine monitoring is essential to detect changes early. Regular eye exams help adjust therapy promptly, preventing progression to blindness. B. Avoid excessive eye strain by limiting computer screen time: Eye strain from screen use can cause discomfort but does not contribute to glaucoma progression. Limiting computer time does not affect intraocular pressure or risk of blindness. C. Meticulously follow regimen for administrating prescribed eye drops: Glaucoma medications, especially eye drops, lower intraocular pressure and prevent optic nerve damage. Consistent adherence is the most critical self-care action to preserve vision. D. Report any changes in visual perception immediately: Early reporting of vision changes allows timely evaluation and modification of therapy to slow disease progression. This helps prevent irreversible vision loss associated with untreated glaucoma. E. Maintain a diet high in vegetables, particularly carotene: While a balanced diet is beneficial for general eye health, no specific diet prevents glaucoma-related blindness. Carotene intake supports retinal health but does not lower intraocular pressure.
