Clinical Assessment
A 29-year-old software developer from Guruvayur presenting with daily headaches and dry eyes. Spent 10-12 hours daily on screens. Previous treatments included prescription glasses (normal vision), daily painkillers, and lubricating eye drops with no lasting relief.
Homeopathic Therapeutics & Management
