Namaskar Ji,

Are there Ayurvedic treatments known to be helpful for macular degeneration? I am not speaking of age-related macular degeneration, which has even modern medical management. This is a genetic disorder that presents first as a juvenile and then progresses later in life. It affects the macula, the region of the retina that gives sharp vision, but not usually the rest of the retina.

This kind of disorder has no modern treatments or managements. Most Western supplements are either non-veg, such as lutein in eggs, or are unhelpful entirely - for instance supplementing Vitamin A and beta-carotine, which can arguably help with some cases of age-related degeneration, has been shown that it may actually worsen the this type.

Simply looking for some new ideas to try, but have limited time to do any research from a point of zero knowledge. Thanks for any suggestions.
