Instructions for the client with glaucoma include the following: Obtain assistance from a family member, relative, or friend if you have trouble instilling eye drops. Avoid all drugs that contain atropine. Check with physician or pharmacist before using any nonprescription drug. preparations for cold or allergy symptoms may contain an atropine-like drug. Maintain regular bowel habits; straining at stool can raise IOP. Avoid heavy lifting and emotional upsets (especially crying) because they increase IOP. Eating vegetables and reading do not increase IOP.
