Paediatric Cataract Questions

Bell’s palsy can affect the muscles around the eye and the eyelid, sometimes preventing the eye from blinking properly. Because the eye is unable to blink normally, not enough tears are spread across the eye to keep it moist. The cornea becomes dehydrated and dry spots begin to form. The eye may become extremely dry and inflamed, often leading to exposure keratitis, a condition caused by the cornea constantly being exposed to the atmosphere

First consider the age, cataract is common in old age people, because of degeneration process already started in old age people. If young people suffer with cataract there is medicational (or) habitual cause may be present. Nasal polyp and cataract are can be curable with homeopathic treatment.

Yes you can use Refresh drops. And I advise you to have Arnica 200c one dose once a day for 7days to get rid of this problem forever.

Dear lybrate-user, there are treatments in homoeopathy which can postpone the surgical process but a progressive cataract will have to be excised out by laser surgery at the end. You can instill cineraria maritima eye drops (schwabe in alcohol base) in affected eye.
For more you are advised to go to ophthalmic surgeon for modus of operation and types of lenses.

Hello. Unfortunately cataract has no cure. It's just treatable surgically only. I understand it must be difficult going for eye surgery in such difficult covid times. But she should get operated at the earliest, otherwise she might completely lose the eyesight (sometimes irreversibly). I am sorry but no drops can cure your problem.
Hope this helps.

Hi. Unfortunately there is no cure for rp as on now. All the medications or inventions are just aimed at improving the already diminished vision or improving the quality of life. For you per se genetic testing isn’t much useful now that you already have the disease.

Hello. It's unfortunate that in such covid time, people like your father cannot access healthcare and get a basic surgery done.
First let me tell you, there is no cure or medical therapy for cataract. The only treatment is surgery. Get the sugar and blood pressure in control at home. Continue his medications. And please get in contact with some nearby eye hospital, so that he gets operated soon. White cataract is a mature cataract (paka hua motiya bind), which if not removed timely will caus...more
