Question

Shankar Netralaya in Chennai diagnosed my daughter with retinitis pigmentosa in her eyes. I read online that the only available surgery is bionic eye in the US, but I wanted to check if there are any other successful treatments in India maybe in allopathy, ayurveda, or homeopathy. If not, can you suggest a doctor in India who does the bionic eye procedure?
