    Treatment

    1. Medical Treatment
      1. Medication: In some cases, abnormal pupil size can be managed with prescription medications such as anticholinergics, sympathomimetics, or mydriatics. These medications can help to regulate the size of the pupil and reduce the symptoms that accompany abnormal pupil size.
      2. Lifestyle Modifications: Making lifestyle changes such as avoiding certain medications, reducing stress, and managing the underlying condition that is causing the abnormal pupil size can help to reduce the symptoms associated with the condition.
      3. Eye Exercises: Eye exercises such as palming and vision therapy can help to relax the muscles around the eyes and can improve the functioning of the muscles that control the size of the pupil.
      4. Nutritional Supplements: Certain supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and vitamin A can help to reduce the symptoms associated with abnormal pupil size.

    Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
