Myopia

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurred due to elongated eyeballs or weak eye muscles. Ayurveda views this as an imbalance in Pitta and Vata doshas affecting eye tissues. Treatments include Netra Tarpana (retaining medicated ghee over the eyes), herbal formulations like Triphala, eye exercises, and internal medications to nourish and strengthen the optic nerves. Dietary recommendations rich in antioxidants and lifestyle adjustments to reduce eye strain are also advised. This holistic approach aims to slow progression, enhance visual strength, and maintain overall ocular health naturally.
