Treatment

  1. Medical Treatment
    1. Glasses or Contact Lenses: Glasses or contact lenses can be used to correct any refractive errors that may be causing vision loss, such as near- or far-sightedness.
    2. Low Vision Aids: Low vision aids can be used to magnify objects and help the patient see better. These devices can include magnifying glasses, telescopes, and high-powered reading glasses.
    3. Vision Therapy: Vision therapy is a type of therapy that can help the patient learn how to use their remaining vision more effectively. This type of therapy can also help improve eye movement and coordination.
    4. Prisms: Prisms can be used to move images from the blind spot in one eye to the seeing eye, helping to improve vision in the affected eye.
    5. Anti-inflammatory Medication: Anti-inflammatory medications, such as steroids, can be used to reduce inflammation in the eye, which can help improve vision.
    6. Dietary Supplements: Certain dietary supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids and lutein, can be taken to help improve vision in the affected eye.

    2. Eye Exercises: Specialized exercises that involve focusing and tracking objects with the eyes may help to strengthen the eye muscles and improve vision.
    3. Rest: Allowing the eye to rest for a period of time each day can help reduce strain and improve vision.
    4. Sunglasses: Wearing sunglasses that provide 100% UV protection can help reduce eye strain and prevent further damage to the eye.
    5. Eye Massage: Gently massaging the area around the eyes can improve circulation and reduce puffiness, helping to improve vision.
    6. Hydration: Staying hydrated is important for overall health, including eye health. Adequate hydration can help reduce dry eyes and reduce strain on the eyes.

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.
