Saptamrit Lauh-2tab twice a day after meal Gentle eye therapies such as Netra Tarpana can help nourish eyes in selected cases At the same time, regular follow-up with an eye specialist is very important because modern treatments like corneal collagen cross-linking (C3R) can help stop progression in young patients. Early management gives better results, especially at 19 years of age.
