If it has been diagnosed at such an early stage, do not waste time.
This need urgent staging and grading to decide on the best treatment to save the eye, preserve the vision and preventing progression of the disease.
Do not panic, have faith, it is curable, provided we treat it earlier.
If possible see your local orbit and oculoplastic surgeon or meet Dr.Sanotsh Honavar at CFS Hyderabad. I refer my patients to him for the treatment.
