    carrot juice atleast once/twice a day and washing eyes thrice in a day can prevent it. moreover, excess use of computer and tv to be avoided. however, if you are computer or tv, take a break of atleast 5 minutes after every 30 minutes and if possible, wash eyes every hour and look to the nature at long distance every hour in case of total using computers

    I’m not sure there is much you can do to prevent it, but plenty of vitamin C, exercise 4x/week for at least 20 min and avoiding caffeine can lower your eye pressure. My EP was 23 with my last exam (21 being top end of range) I added an extra day to my exercise regimen, upped my vitamin C to 3000mg/day and voila! with my next test, two weeks later, my EP was 21.
    Having said that I was also on Effexor, a SSRI at the time, which is known to elevate EP, so my EP may be even lower now. :)
