Yoga asanas are highly beneficial and help prevent further deterioration of the disorder. Yoga improves flexibility of the limbs and prevents stiffness. Physical therapy or physiotherapy on a regular basis is essential. Medication is indicated in case of extreme stiffness, spasms, or clonus, especially, when it interferes with normal functioning or sleep. Anti-convulsants are advocated by physicians.

    • A visit to the ophthalmologist is recommended to diagnose the condition / disorder and start the appropriate therapy and medication.
