Brief answer...if I were you I won't even think of it.
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
PAPILLOEDEMA  is one the most alarming sign in clinical medicine and it means swelling of optic disc which is caused by increased intracranial pressure ( increased pressure inside the brain ).This swelling is in general in both the eyes although it can occur in one eye also,but that is very rare.
Headache,nausea,vomiting are the most common symptom.
There can be various causes for this problem like brain tumour,intracranial bleeding,brain inflammation etc.
PAPILLOEDEMA is a sign of some underlying pathology and you treat that pathology.
Since it is a dangerous symptom which can result in loss of vision,one has to be very aggressive in the treatment and that unfortunately,can't be achieved by homeopathy.
Alleviation of symptoms and stopping the progress of destruction of vision are most important and earliest part of treatment.
Consult a good neurologist for the proper management.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
