The purpose of this study is to determine whether increasing consumption of a Whole-Food Plant-Based (WFPB) diet can improve visual function in open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients. The 6-month intervention includes learning and adapting to the Whole Food Plant-Based diet through dietary counseling, online cooking classes, health coaching, and support group sessions.
