The herb Coleus Forskohlii (sold as Coleus Forte in Health stores) is supposed to be good for the prevention and treatment of glaucoma as it reduces the pressure in your eyes. You have to ask for it in Health Stores as it is kept behind the counter and although you can buy it without a prescription it is deemed to be prescription medication so they are not permitted to have it on the self service shelves.

The herb Forskolin is actually the same as Coleus Forskohlii (Coleus Forte).
