The experience is deeply relaxing, soothing, and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ`s)
. What does Netra Tarpana feel like? Is it safe?
The experience is generally very pleasant and relaxing. You will feel a soothing warmth from the ghee as it bathes your eyes. The dough ring ensures the liquid is completely contained, and your eyes are free to blink naturally within the pool. When performed by our trained therapists, it is an extremely safe and non-invasive procedure.
I wear contact lenses. Can I undergo this treatment?
Yes, but you will be asked to remove your contact lenses before the therapy begins. It is best to come to your appointment without them. The deep lubrication provided by Netra Tarpana can be particularly beneficial for contact lens wearers who often suffer from dry eyes.
How many sessions will I need to see a difference?
Many people feel immediate relief from dryness and strain after just one session. However, for chronic conditions or to achieve significant, lasting improvements in vision health, a course of treatment is recommended. Dr. Swetha will typically suggest a series of 7-14 daily sessions as part of a broader treatment plan for optimal results.
Is this treatment suitable for children?
Yes, Netra Tarpana can be very beneficial for children, especially those with refractive errors (like myopia) or who spend significant time on digital devices. The treatment is gentle, and the duration is adjusted for younger patients. A consultation with our doctor is essential to determine the appropriate approach.
Are the results permanent?
While Netra Tarpana provides deep, lasting nourishment, the results are best maintained with a healthy lifestyle and periodic follow-up treatments, especially if the underlying causes (like prolonged screen time) persist. Think of it as a intensive reset for your eyes, the benefits of which can be prolonged with proper care.
I have a specific eye condition (e.g., glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy). Can I still have Netra Tarpana?
Netra Tarpana can be a supportive therapy for many eye diseases. However, it is crucial to have a full consultation with Dr. Swetha. She will review your specific diagnosis and medical history to determine if Netra Tarpana is appropriate for you and will customize the medicated ghee accordingly to ensure safety and efficacy.
