Myopia is a common eye disorder that impairs the ability to see anything unless it is held very close to the eyes. It is not a fatal disease but may cause problems in daily life. The Ayurvedic eye treatment for myopia offers a healthy and natural alternative to conventional treatments. It includes therapies and herbal medicines that rectify the problem without any adverse effects. The best part, you recover the problem permanently as the treatment eliminated the root cause of the problem.
What is Myopia?
The difficulty to see distant objects is called Myopia. This condition is also termed as short sight. It occurs when light rays focus the images ahead of the retina instead of on the retina. This condition happens due to the disturbing shape of the eyeball. It is the most common cause of vision impairment in children and young adults.
Generally, Myopia progresses as age and height increase. It gets stabilized at one level near 20-22 years of age when the patient achieves the maximum physical growth.
Causes of Myopia
The disease is diagnosed by a simple vision test and a refraction test. After a trial of multiple lenses and observing the most precise vision response, an optometrist prescribes the glasses' power.
Long eyeball, the curved cornea, heredity, and misuse of eyes are the probable causes responsible for Myopia.
The use of fast food, watching TV, working on mobile and computer screens, reading while lying down, reading in a moving vehicle, late-night sleep, and late waking up will increase the problem and should be discouraged.
Balanced use of clarified butter (ghee) in diet, green vegetables, seasonal fruits, nuts, yoga, and a sound but timely sleep will help heal the problem and be encouraged.
Types of Myopia
Myopia is of two types:
- Physiological Myopia: It is a simple case of nearsightedness that can be cured with the right kind of glasses.
- Degenerative or Pathological Myopia: It is a dangerous type of myopia that decreases eye sight with time. It is not due to simple anatomical reasons that can be rectified with simple measures. If overlooked or left untreated, it can lead to permanent loss of vision.
Symptoms of Myopia
Blurred vision, headache after a strained activity, excessive eye blinking, and difficulty seeing in bright light and at night are Myopia's main symptoms. Prakash Nethralaya follows a holistic approach and provides effective relief in all these symptoms with Ayurvedic Myopia Treatment.
Diagnosis and Ayurvedic Treatment for Myopia
The disease is diagnosed by a simple vision test and a refraction test. After a trial of multiple lenses and observing the most precise vision response, an optometrist prescribes the glasses' power.

Children with a power of less than +/-1.00 show good improvement with the treatment.
Panchakarma Therapies like Annalepana, eye massage, netradhara, and tharpana are medically recommended and certified methods of myopia treatment in Ayurveda.
Diet & Lifestyle Changes
The use of fast food, watching TV, working on mobile and computer screens, reading while lying down, reading in a moving vehicle, late-night sleep, and late waking up will increase the problem and should be discouraged.

Preventions for Myopia
There is no way to prevent myopia but its progress can be slowed down with some specific preventive measures. Ayurvedic practitioners recommend regular use of Ayurvedic eye drops for myopia with some other precautions:

- If your daily life involves intense periods of near work, try to get control over it.

Our Approach To Ayurvedic Myopia Treatment
Ayurvedic Treatment
According to Ayurveda, vitiated Vata dosha at the eye level makes the eye muscles weak. The eye muscles lose their strength to focus on a distant object. We at Prakash Nethralaya corrects the metabolic anomalies by Ayurveda medicines and dietary changes. Annalepana, Netradhara, Kizhiswedan, Nasya, and Tharpana are the procedures that can normalize the vitiated Vata dosha. Eye exercise is undoubtedly of great help once the Vata dosha settles. We have seen excellent results in patients who have glass power less than -1.00. Ayurvedic treatment for Myopia can prevent the further progression of the glasses' power in others. You can have a detailed discussion over online video consultation to know your case's chances of recovery.
Why To Choose Ayurveda?
Looks for the Root Cause
The ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. Ayurveda offers two ways of treatment; One is Shodhan, and the other is Shaman. Shodhan is complete detoxification of the body by Panchakarma therapies. Shaman is balancing the doshas by Ayurveda medicines, diet, and lifestyle changes. Ayurveda medicines always work better in a patient detoxified with Panchakarma.
Safe Medicines
Ayurveda medicines are processed most naturally and not in the synthetic and chemical form. For this reason, the herbs are soft on the body, and there is no risk of side effects even if the patient requires to take them for longer durations. The complete eradication of the root cause ensures the cure and prevents future health complications.
Holistic Approach
Ayurveda is not merely a medical science. Instead, it is a philosophical science too. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment. Ayurveda gives importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease. Two patients of the same disease can have different treatments because of the difference in their body constitution.
