Abstract
Physiotherapeutic procedures are widely used in ophthalmology as adjunctive treatments for various ocular disorders. This review aims to evaluate the mechanisms, indications, contraindications, and clinical effectiveness of physiotherapy modalities, including laser therapy, magnetotherapy, ultrasound, electrophoresis, diadynamic currents, and infrared therapy. Physiotherapy contributes to reducing inflammation, improving microcirculation, alleviating edema and pain, and accelerating tissue regeneration, thereby enhancing visual function and recovery outcomes. The available evidence suggests that physiotherapeutic interventions can be beneficial when applied appropriately, but their efficacy depends on patient selection, disease severity, and treatment protocol.
