Study purpose This study investigated the effeicacy of oral Cordyceps cicadae mycelia for the relief of high intraocular pressure.~Subjects~The total recruitment of subjects is 60 people, aged between 20 to 75 years.~Subjects with intraocular pressure more than or equal to 21 mmHg are included, irrespective of whether on us of Taflotan (saflutan).~Methods~1. Informed consents will be obtained from subjects first. The subjects with pre-test intraocular pressure over or equal 21 mm Hg are advised to orally take two capsules containing a total of 500 mg of Cordyceps cicadae mycelia. After 90 minutes, the subjects are evaluated for intraocular pressure.~The pre-test and and post-intake intraocualr pressure and blood pressure data will be compared by paired t test for significant differences if any.
This study will investigate the effects of lowering intraocular pressure by oral intake of Cordyceps cicadae mycelia, to provide evidence-based data for high intraocular pressure relief.
