Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
I am Dr Dadapeer an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with early stage of keratoconus.
Keratoconus is usually a self limiting disease and progression stops by 30-35 years.
Treatment is required when the thinning of the cornea progresses or the refractive error increases.
No treatment is advised in the initial stages of the problem. Usually I advice for a corneal topography and follow it once in a year or 6 months.
Hence if your doctor has taken a corneal topography please send me the report so that I can confirm the diagnosis and advice you accordingly.
Regarding ayurvedic treatment, being an allopathic doctor I do not have much idea regarding it. But depending on the report of the corenal topography I will be telling you whether any treatment is required as of now or not.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
