First understand you are wrong to feel scared and helpless when vision is involved anyone in your place would feel the same especially when doctors are not giving clear answers Optic nerve damage is a very sensitive condition because once nerve fibre are lost modern medicine also has limited options to regenerate them but that doesn’t mean nothing can be done what is most important now is to stop further damage reduce pressure pain and inflammation and support whatever nerve tissue is still alive In ayurveda we do not claim magic reversal in advanced nerve loss but we focus on protecting remaining vision improving circulation to the optic nerve calming the aggravated vata and pitta in the head region and strengthening majja dhatu which governs the nervous system Your sev pain and pressure especially worsening with activity suggests ongoing inflammation vascular compromise organised intra ocular or intracranial pressure so before any ayurvedic treatment you must again rule out active glaucoma optic neuritis autoimmune causes vitamin deficiencies especially B12 and D and any demylinatimg condition because if active inflammation is present it needs immediate management do not stop consulting neuro ophthalmologist even if they say limited options preservation is still possible Through ayurveda therapies like nasya Netra Tarpana shirodhara will be beneficial No smoking/ alcohol Adequate sleep Practice pranayama meditation trataka exercises Take Amlaki rasayana 1-0-1 tsp with warm water Saptamrith lauh 1-0-1
