Myopic Degeneration Treatment
Myopic (pathological) degeneration is progressive damage to the retina and choroid that occurs in severe, highly nearsighted eyes as the elongated eyeball stretches and thins the back of the eye. It can cause lacquer cracks, choroidal neovascularization, and atrophy of the macula, leading to distortion and permanent central vision loss.
Understanding Myopic Degeneration
Myopic (pathological) degeneration is progressive damage to the retina and choroid that occurs in severe, highly nearsighted eyes as the elongated eyeball stretches and thins the back of the eye. It can cause lacquer cracks, choroidal neovascularization, and atrophy of the macula, leading to distortion and permanent central vision loss.
While Myopic Degeneration has its own clinical features, the rate at which vision changes is also shaped by shared biological factors — circulation, inflammation, oxidative stress and the resilience of nerve and retinal tissue. This is where an integrative approach can complement conventional care.
How Netra Restoration Therapy may help with Myopic Degeneration
For retinal & macular conditions, NRT focuses on:
- supporting ocular blood flow to the retina and macula
- enhancing neurotrophic (BDNF) support to retinal cells
- reducing oxidative stress and ferroptosis in retinal tissue
- calming chronic retinal inflammation
NRT is a non-invasive, integrative therapy that draws on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, acupuncture and ocular-focused herbal medicine. It is designed to work alongside the care of your ophthalmologist, not to replace it. Read more about the science behind NRT.
Benefits of Netra Restoration Therapy
NRT works by improving ocular blood-flow regulation, enhancing neurotrophic support to retinal and optic-nerve cells, and reducing damaging processes such as ferroptosis, oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.
-
Stop Vision Loss Progression
Addresses contributing factors beyond eye pressure to help slow progression.
-
Improved Visual Field
Aims to support dormant and stressed retinal cells across the field of view.
-
Improved Visual Acuity
Many patients report gains on distance and near vision charts.
-
Improved Contrast Sensitivity
Easier to distinguish shapes, edges and fine detail.
-
Increased Visual Brightness
Better brightness and color perception, including in low light.
-
Reduced Glare & Light Sensitivity
Less discomfort from sunlight, headlights and digital screens.
-
Reduced Eye Strain & Pain
Greater day-to-day comfort and reduced ocular fatigue.
