Ophthalmology

Written by

Dr. Ayush Varma

All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)

I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

The eye is the most important sense organ and it directly linked to the brain. It is a very sensitive organ that is extremely close to the working of the human brain. Eye diseases like myopia, cataract, glaucoma, and retinopathy are common.

Eyes are critical to the quality of life, these are the windows to the world and the soul. Vision is one of the five sensory organs that is used in Ayurvedic healing. Eye diseases today are very popular, which is partly caused by a number of fast life factors – long working hours at computers, poor eating habits, insufficient sleep hours, stress and so on. Also occur from long hours of watching TV, constantly reading small prints, inappropriate head position

What Causes Ophthalmology?

It seems there might be a misunderstanding in your question. Ophthalmology is a medical specialty focused on the study and treatment of eye disorders, and it is not typically considered a condition or something that “causes” issues. If you are referring to the causes of eye disorders or conditions related to ophthalmology, such as cataracts, glaucoma, or refractive errors, they can arise from various factors like age, genetics, environmental influences, and underlying health conditions. Clarifying your question might help provide a more accurate response.
