Hello Friends,

Perhaps you can give me some thoughts here.
Young boy 17 years old with night blindness. The medical tests indicate a constriction of the optical artery that feeds the optic nerve and eye area. All else appears to be perfectly normal.

He has an uncle with night blindness also. His vision is perfectly fine until the light dims and then he cannot see, is in his last year of high school and is going to college next year, he is unable to drive at dusk.

Constitutionally he looks and acts like a calc carb and the remedy has done him much good but didn't touch the eye symptoms. I tried secale low and nothing.

Any suggestions of how to approach this or where to look or suggestions to look up would be greatly appreciated.

Most sincerely,

Maria

I realize that "constriction" is not the same as "underdeveloped", but I wonder whether bar-c could be worth considering?

Does he eat his spinach?
17 yr olds often are junk foodies. He would then not get enough Vit A.
Vit A deficiency causes night blindness.
I'd check that first, as no remedy can provide Vit A if that is the issue.

He may have genetically low rods percentage (Rods are the eye cells for low light that see in B/W, as opposed to cones that see color.

Namaste,

Hello Maria,

I was reading the rubric nightblindness :
subrubric at twilight : Lyc (2), psor, (1)
Subrubric at sunset : Bell (1)

I am thinking of Bell :

With Calc.c.... those two goes hand by hand.
Bell for constriction (internally - of orifices)
And Bell is indicated for ailments after meningitis vaccination. I don't know if this is the case. And if it is, do you see those symptoms of irritation of the brain (teeth grinding, or dilated pupil or a kind of agitation ? )

Just a thought !

Thank you all for your thoughts on this night blindness. I will indeed check his diet as well as read all of the rubrics for this case.

The doctors are quite sure it is a constriction of that artery, there are no other symptoms in this client worth looking at. There are no real mentals that are uncharacteristic of a young man of this age.

I gave calc carb as it covered him pretty well, hoping that a balance would help address this issue. Parents think it is inherited, and with Uncle's history it may well be.

Any other thoughts are appreciated, I will go over the intake again and take another look at the case.

Thanks, Maria

the tendency for Vitamin A deficiency could be inherited. I would do the Vitamin A too, before even tying a remedy.
Many very deficient. Especially after MMR.

Thinking outside of the box here, after due consideration to vitamin A and remedies....

1. is the constriction anatomical, meaning fixed, or functional, like in an arterial spasm that appears in the evening? different approaches...

2. the constriction can be from cranial bones or cervical vertebrae misalignment...a cranio-sacral session would be interesting, nothing to lose...

Great, thanks. It is not a spasm as there seems to be a problem with the blood supply to the eye that is consistant. Will suggest the sacral cranial session. Thanks.
