Outcome
The first time Visual acuity was not measured due to the age of child (very small age to read). In the later visits it was regularly monitored. Her high power is almost normalised within 2 years of proper follow ups and treatments. She had severe Blepharitis with yellow flakes on lids, discharge from eyes, severe itching and photophobia. After the completion of two sets of treatment as In-Patient, her eye complaints had reduced considerably. Yellow flakes on lids, discharge from eyes, itching, and photophobia were totally absent. Power correction was done to a great extent and her eye power was reduced from 6/36 to 6/6 partial.

Lipid Profile
Child was initially diagnosed with Vernal Kerato Conjunctivitis along with corneal ulcers. She had severe lid inflammation along with severe inability to open her eyes due to pain and burning sensation. She was given allopathic medicines in the beginning but did not show much changes in the condition. Gradually she came for ayurvedic medicines and was advised with certain medicines and treatments with which initially her inflammatory conditions were bought into control. Later her myopia was also corrected and good changes were seen in her eye health. She is advised for certain medicines and regular follow ups at proper intervals.
