Study Description

Brief Summary

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Primary Open Angle Glaucoma Hypertension	Behavioral: breathing exercise	N/A

Detailed Description

Hypertension, particularly if poorly controlled, appears related to an increased risk of open angle glaucoma, (the high tension type of glaucoma is characterized as optic nerve degeneration with ocular hypertension). With a random assignment, sixty hypertensive geriatric with high tension type primary open angle glaucoma will be assigned to breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing) group (n=30 geriatrics) or waiting list geriatrics. the daily breathing exercise will be performed by the geriatrics in evening (for half an hour) and morning (for half an hour).

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Exercised group Thirty hypertensive geriatric with high tension type primary open angle glaucoma will perform breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing). The daily breathing exercise will be performed by the geriatrics in evening (for half an hour) and morning (for half an hour) for one month.	Behavioral: breathing exercise Thirty hypertensive geriatric with high tension type primary open angle glaucoma will perform breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing). The daily breathing exercise will be performed by the geriatrics in evening (for half an hour) and morning (for half an hour) for one month.
No Intervention: control group this will be a thirty-patient wait-list group that will no receive any shape of training
