Hello sir,

Please, do mention whether you have diabetes or not.

Pars Planitis is an eye disease which is a treatable inflammatory disorder where middle layer of the eye is affected. Pars Planitis may occur in both eyes and usually occur in children or even in adults. Also it is believed that it may cause complications like systemic illness. However, it is treatable with allopathy medicines like immunosuppression medications, or even surgeries as indicated.

In most of the cases it is idiopathic etiology, some times due to multiple sclerosis, sarcoidosis, lyme disease, etc.

There are many complications by using immunosuppressants like glaucoma, macular edema etc.

Being dependent on allopathy medicines, and in order to avoid complications, and to maintain sensory function, one can take a help of alternative therapies, or complimentary medicines.
