Loss of vision 11520...India
A 53-year-old man developed severe pain in his forehead and swelling on the left side of his face along with a burning sensation and stiffness in the left eye on 25 July 2018. Over the next few days, he lost all vision in this eye. After two weeks, when he saw the ophthalmologist, his condition was diagnosed as temporal BRVO (Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion, meaning blockage in small veins). The patient had high BP for the past ten years for which he was taking Alprox 0.5 mg. An eye test confirmed the cause of BRVO to be fluctuating BP. The doctor prescribed I-site capsules and Nepafenac eye drops for pain and swelling along with intravitreal injections costing Rs 30,000 ($400) each, to dissolve the blood clots. There was no certainty the injections would cure his condition, so he did not take them but started on the other two medicines on 10 Aug 2018. On the same day, he also consulted the practitioner who gave him:
#1. NM17 Eye + NM36 War + NM109 Vision + NM113 Inflammation + OM11 Eye + OM25 Eye-Retina + OM26 Eye Muscles + BR20 Eye + SM20 Eyes + SR216 Vitamin-E + SR247 Triple Warmer + SR405 Ruta…6TD
After seven weeks on 30 Sept, there was 50% improvement in pain and 20% in swelling. However, he did have multiple episodes of severe pain. The practitioner advised the patient to take one dose every five minutes for a total of three doses during such times, in addition to the normal 6TD. After 10 days, the frequency of the pain episodes reduced considerably and there was 100% improvement in the swelling and burning sensation. On 8 Nov the patient reported that the pain had completely gone. There was only occasional stiffness in the affected eye. As some remedies were now not needed, #1 was modified to:
#2. NM36 War + NM109 Vision + OM25 Eye-Retina + OM26 Eye Muscles + BR20 Eye + SM20 Eyes + SR216 Vitamin-E + SR247 Triple Warmer + SR405 Ruta…6TD
On 30 Jan 2019 the patient reported that except for the loss of vision, he had no other eye problems. His doctor advised him to stop the allopathic medicines as these were not helping with vision recovery and the prognosis remained poor.
The practitioner advised the patient to keep away from strong light and not use TV, computer or mobile for long periods to avoid straining the healthy right eye. After four months, in May, the patient happily reported that he was now able to see the outline of images! The dosage was reduced to QDS and the practitioner started broadcasting the same remedy at OD.
Another two months later, in July, the patient could see black images without any colour and from 9 Sept, he could see distant images normally but still was not able to read. The dosage was reduced to TDS and broadcasting was continued along with intense prayers. A month later, on 10 Oct, he was able to recognise some letters though they looked wavy and blurred. In November, to the great delight of both the patient and the practitioner, his vision was restored and he could see everything clearly! Broadcasting was stopped and the dosage was slowly tapered down to OW and finally stopped on 10 Jan 2020. As of April 2022, the patient has normal vision.
