Patients with filamentary keratitis should consume more fresh vegetables, but the diet should remain light. Additionally, they must seek medical care and follow the ophthalmologist’s instructions for appropriate pharmacological treatment—relying solely on dietary therapy is insufficient and may lead to disease progression. Patients should also protect their eyes daily to prevent eye strain, especially avoiding prolonged use of computers, smartphones, or televisions at night, as such habits can severely damage ocular health.
