Valium (diazepam) usually does not significantly alter intraocular pressure and is generally safe for glaucoma patients when used judiciously.
Valium can lower intraocular pressure slightly but is not a primary treatment for glaucoma. Using it in glaucoma patients is risky due to potential sedative effects and altered visual acuity.
