after surgery for retinal detachment

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

One of my clients, a 32 yr lady, Mayurika, encountered

sudden retinal

deattachment in one eye and had to undergo emergency

vitrectomy

surgery. She is myopic and has a very high number.

The doctors said that the surgery could go either way.

I have done Basic, Advanced and Psychotherapy courses.

Please guide me

with the protocol to help her regain her sight.

 

Please include her in your prayers.

 

Thanks,

Sonali.

Dear Sonali,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

alternative name: retrolental fibroplasia

 

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially

blinding eye disorder that primarily affects premature

infants weighing about 2¾ pounds (1250 grams) or less

that are born before 31 weeks of gestation (A

full-term pregnancy has a gestation of 38–42 weeks).

The smaller a baby is at birth, the more likely that

baby is to develop ROP. This disorder—which usually

develops in both eyes—is one of the most common causes

of visual loss in childhood and can lead to lifelong

vision impairment and blindness. ROP was first

diagnosed in 1942.

 

Today, with advances in neonatal care, smaller and

more premature infants are being saved. These infants

are at a much higher risk for ROP. Not all babies who

are premature develop ROP. There are approximately 3.9

million infants born in the U.S. each year; of those,

about 28,000 weigh 2¾ pounds or less. About

14,000–16,000 of these infants are affected by some

degree of ROP. The disease improves and leaves no

permanent damage in milder cases of ROP. About 90

percent of all infants with ROP are in the milder

category and do not need treatment. However, infants

with more severe disease can develop impaired vision

or even blindness. About 1,100–1,500 infants annually

develop ROP that is severe enough to require medical

treatment. About 400–600 infants each year in the US

become legally blind from ROP.

 

In addition to birth weight and how early a baby is

born, other factors contributing to the risk of ROP

include anemia, blood transfusions, respiratory

distress, breathing difficulties, and the overall

health of the infant.

 

An ROP epidemic occurred in the 1940s and early 1950s

when hospital nurseries began using excessively high

levels of oxygen in incubators to save the lives of

premature infants. During this time, ROP was the

leading cause of blindness in children in the US. In

1954, scientists funded by the National Institutes of

Health determined that the relatively high levels of

oxygen routinely given to premature infants at that

time were an important risk factor, and that reducing

the level of oxygen given to premature babies reduced

the incidence of ROP. With newer technology and

methods to monitor the oxygen levels of infants,

oxygen use as a risk factor has diminished in

importance.

 

Although it had been suggested as a factor in the

development of ROP, researchers supported by the

National Eye Institute determined that lighting levels

in hospital nurseries has no effect on the development

of ROP.

 

ROP occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow and spread

throughout the retina, the tissue that lines the back

of the eye. These abnormal blood vessels are fragile

and can leak, scarring the retina and pulling it out

of position. This causes a retinal detachment. Retinal

detachment is the main cause of visual impairment and

blindness in ROP.

 

Several complex factors may be responsible for the

development of ROP. The eye starts to develop at about

16 weeks of pregnancy, when the blood vessels of the

retina begin to form at the optic nerve in the back of

the eye. The blood vessels grow gradually toward the

edges of the developing retina, supplying oxygen and

nutrients. During the last 12 weeks of a pregnancy,

the eye develops rapidly. When a baby is born

full-term, the retinal blood vessel growth is mostly

complete (The retina usually finishes growing a few

weeks to a month after birth). But if a baby is born

prematurely, before these blood vessels have reached

the edges of the retina, normal vessel growth may

stop. The edges of the retina—the periphery—may not

get enough oxygen and nutrients.

 

Scientists believe that the periphery of the retina

then sends out signals to other areas of the retina

for nourishment. As a result, new abnormal vessels

begin to grow. These new blood vessels are fragile and

weak and can bleed, leading to retinal scarring. When

these scars shrink, they pull on the retina, causing

it to detach from the back of the eye.

 

ROP is classified in five stages, ranging from mild

(stage I) to severe (stage V):

 

Stage I — Mildly abnormal blood vessel growth. Many

children who develop stage I improve with no treatment

and eventually develop normal vision. The disease

resolves on its own without further progression.

 

Stage II — Moderately abnormal blood vessel growth.

Many children who develop stage II improve with no

treatment and eventually develop normal vision. The

disease resolves on its own without further

progression.

 

Stage III — Severely abnormal blood vessel growth. The

abnormal blood vessels grow toward the center of the

eye instead of following their normal growth pattern

along the surface of the retina. Some infants who

develop stage III improve with no treatment and

eventually develop normal vision. However, when

infants have a certain degree of Stage III and " plus

disease " develops, treatment is considered. " Plus

disease " means that the blood vessels of the retina

have become enlarged and twisted, indicating a

worsening of the disease. Treatment at this point has

a good chance of preventing retinal detachment.

 

Stage IV — Partially detached retina. Traction from

the scar produced by bleeding, abnormal vessels pulls

the retina away from the wall of the eye.

 

Stage V — Completely detached retina and the end stage

of the disease. If the eye is left alone at this

stage, the baby can have severe visual impairment and

even blindness.

 

Most babies who develop ROP have stages I or II.

However, in a small number of babies, ROP worsens,

sometimes very rapidly. Untreated ROP threatens to

destroy vision.

 

Medically, the most effective proven treatments for

ROP are laser therapy or cryotherapy. Laser therapy

" burns away " the periphery of the retina, which has no

normal blood vessels. With cryotherapy, physicians use

an instrument that generates freezing temperatures to

briefly touch spots on the surface of the eye that

overlie the periphery of the retina. Both laser

treatment and cryotherapy destroy the peripheral areas

of the retina, slowing or reversing the abnormal

growth of blood vessels. Unfortunately, the treatments

also destroy some side vision. This is done to save

the most important part of our sight—the sharp,

central vision we need for " straight ahead " activities

such as reading, sewing, and driving.

 

Both laser treatments and cryotherapy are performed

only on infants with advanced ROP, particularly stage

III with " plus disease. " Both treatments are

considered invasive surgeries on the eye, and doctors

don't know the long-term side effects of each.

 

In the later stages of ROP, other treatment options

include:

 

* Scleral buckle. This involves placing a silicone

band around the eye and tightening it. This keeps the

vitreous gel from pulling on the scar tissue and

allows the retina to flatten back down onto the wall

of the eye. Infants who have had a sclera buckle need

to have the band removed months or years later, since

the eye continues to grow; otherwise they will become

nearsighted. Sclera buckles are usually performed on

infants with stage IV or V.

* Vitrectomy. Vitrectomy involves removing the

vitreous and replacing it with a saline solution.

After the vitreous has been removed, the scar tissue

on the retina can be peeled back or cut away, allowing

the retina to relax and lay back down against the eye

wall. Vitrectomy is performed only at stage V.

 

While ROP treatment decreases the chances for vision

loss, it does not always prevent it. Not all babies

respond to ROP treatment, and the disease may get

worse. If treatment for ROP does not work, a retinal

detachment may develop. Often, only part of the retina

detaches (stage IV). When this happens, no further

treatments may be needed, since a partial detachment

may remain the same or go away without treatment.

However, in some instances, physicians may recommend

treatment to try to prevent further advancement of the

retinal detachment (stage V). If the center of the

retina or the entire retina detaches, central vision

is threatened, and surgery may be recommended to

reattach the retina.

 

Infants with ROP are considered to be at higher risk

for developing certain eye problems later in life,

such as retinal detachment, myopia (nearsightedness),

strabismus (crossed eyes), amblyopia (lazy eye), and

glaucoma. In many cases, these eye problems can be

treated or controlled.

Pranic Healing:

 

After Surgery -

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. Teach the patient how to do Pranic Breathing

properly. Ask the patient to do 12 cycles of Pranic

Breathing before start of treatment, then continue

Pranic Breathing during entire treatment.

 

3. Touch your heart with the pads of the fingers of

your passive hand.

 

Smile. Project loving kindness towards the patient for

a several minutes.

 

Maintain this attitude and posture throughout the

treatment.

 

4. After the patient has completed 12 cycles of Pranic

Breathing, apply advanced general sweeping twice.

 

5. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

solar plexus chakra and the liver. Energize the solar

plexus chakra with LWG, LWB then with ordinary LWV.

more emphasis on the affected eye, alternately with

LWG and ordinary LWV.

 

7. Localized thorough sweeping on the ajna chakra.

 

Energize the eyes through the ajna chakra with LWG,

then wait for a few seconds. This is to cleanse and

loosen up the diseased and used-up energy in the

minute nadis of the eyes.

 

Energize with a little LWY (hand-crown). This is to

facilitate the removal of diseased and used-up energy.

 

8. Apply more localized thorough sweeping on the

eyes. Energize the eyes through the ajna chakra with

LWG, LWY(hand-crown), ordinary LWV, then a little

LWB. Visualize the energy going into the eyes while

energizing.

 

The inter action of LWG, LWY and ordinary LWV has

regenerating an strengthening effects on the eyes.

LWB gives pliability to the eyes and stabilizes the

projected pranic energy.

 

8. Localized thorough sweeping on the brain, forehead

chakra, crown chakra, back head minor, temple minor

and jaw minor chakras.
