Questions about Eye Disorders

smile eye surgery

36 days ago
1 answers

I’ve been considering Smile eye surgery as a way to correct my vision and eliminate my reliance on glasses or contact lenses. I’ve heard that it’s a less invasive form of laser eye surgery compared to other options, but I’m still a little unsure about what the procedure involves and whether it’s right for me. Could you explain what Smile eye surgery is, how it works, and why it might be a better option for some patients compared to traditional LASIK or PRK? From what I understand, Smile eye surgery uses a femtosecond laser to reshape the cornea and correct vision, but how does the procedure differ from other types of laser eye surgery? How is the femtosecond laser used to create a small incision in the cornea without the need for a flap, and what are the benefits of this approach? Does this mean that the procedure is less likely to cause complications, like dry eye or flap-related issues, compared to LASIK? What are the risks or potential side effects associated with Smile eye surgery? Are there any long-term concerns that I should be aware of, such as night vision issues, halos, or glare? Is there any risk of complications, such as infection or corneal scarring, that could affect the healing process? How do doctors determine if I’m a good candidate for Smile eye surgery? Are there any factors, such as age, eye health, or the severity of my prescription, that might make me a better or worse candidate for the procedure? I’ve heard that the procedure is only suitable for certain types of refractive errors—how can I determine if Smile eye surgery is the right choice for me based on my specific vision needs? Lastly, what is the recovery process like after Smile eye surgery? How long will it take for my vision to stabilize, and when can I return to normal activities, such as driving, exercising, or using a computer? Are there any post-operative care instructions I need to follow to ensure optimal healing and avoid complications? If you have more information on Smile eye surgery or tips on how to determine if I’m a good candidate, I’d appreciate your guidance.


I'm here to provide information on Ayurvedic and medical inquiries, but your question about Smile eye surgery doesn't fall within that scope. I recommend consulting with a qualified ophthalmologist who can give you detailed insights about the procedure, candidacy, potential risks, and recovery. They'll be able to address all your concerns in a thorough and personalized manner. If you have any Ayurveda-related questions or health concerns, feel free to share!

Eye Conjunctivitis

32 days ago
1 answers

I’ve been dealing with eye conjunctivitis for the past few days, and it’s honestly driving me crazy. It started out with a little irritation in my right eye, but then it got worse. My eye became red, watery, and swollen, and I’ve been feeling like I have something stuck in my eye all the time. The worst part is the crustiness that builds up around my eye when I wake up. It’s so uncomfortable, and I feel embarrassed about how it looks, especially when I’m around people. I’ve been to my regular doctor, and they said it’s a mild case of conjunctivitis, possibly viral, but the treatment they gave me hasn’t really worked. I tried using some over-the-counter eye drops, but they only seem to give me temporary relief. I’m not a big fan of using chemical treatments, so I’m wondering if there are any natural remedies that can help with eye conjunctivitis. I’ve heard that Ayurveda offers solutions for eye issues like this, and I was wondering if there are any herbs or oils that could help treat this condition naturally. I’ve also been following some advice on avoiding touching my eyes or sharing towels, but the symptoms are still there. I feel like I’ve tried everything, and it’s just not going away. The redness and irritation won’t seem to go away, even after a week. Sometimes, it even feels like my vision is a little blurry because of the swelling and discharge, and I’m starting to get concerned. I’ve read that eye conjunctivitis can sometimes be contagious, but I’m not sure if the Ayurvedic approach would be able to help clear it up faster and prevent spreading it further. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment for eye conjunctivitis that could help reduce inflammation and redness in a natural way? I’m also curious about any herbs or practices in Ayurveda that could help boost my immune system and prevent this from happening again. Any advice on how I can manage this more effectively with natural treatments would be greatly appreciated. I really want to avoid using medications if possible and instead focus on holistic ways to treat eye conjunctivitis. What practices can I include in my daily routine to ensure this condition doesn’t come back, and how can I speed up the healing process?


For your eye conjunctivitis, Ayurveda offers several natural remedies to help reduce inflammation, redness, and discomfort while supporting your healing process. Since this is likely a mild viral conjunctivitis, it is crucial to focus on pacifying Pita dosha, which governs heat and inflammation in the body. Begin by preparing an herbal wash using triphala, which is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Dissolve half a teaspoon of triphala powder in a cup of boiled water, let it cool, strain, and use this solution to gently rinse your eyes twice a day. This will help clear away debris, reduce crustiness, and soothe irritation. Brew chamomile tea and allow it to cool, then soak a clean, soft cloth in it and place it over your closed eyelids for 10-15 minutes daily. Chamomile has anti-inflammatory and calming effects, which can relieve symptoms effectively. Make sure to maintain good hygiene; wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes. Incorporate flaxseeds into your diet, as they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support eye health and reduce inflammation. For immune support, consider taking a teaspoon of honey mixed with a pinch of turmeric in warm water daily; turmeric enhances immunity and acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. Stay hydrated and consume light, nutritious meals with seasonal vegetables and whole grains to strengthen your overall constitution. Avoid allergens and irritants, and if possible, reduce screen time to allow your eyes to rest. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider seeking further medical advice. By integrating these Ayurvedic practices, you can promote faster healing while preventing recurrence.

My eyes are turning red every night nd has burning sensation doctor says eyes don't have any problem may be you need to consult rheumatologist as in one eye I am having recueeing uveitis.does ayurveda has any solution for this.problw.


Recurring uveitis with redness and burning in the eyes, especially at night, may indicate an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which is responsible for inflammation and heat in the body. In Ayurveda, managing this condition involves cooling and anti-inflammatory therapies. I recommend using Triphala Ghrita for internal consumption, as it helps in reducing inflammation and supports eye health. Maha Triphala Ghrita can also be used as an eye drop under medical supervision to soothe and reduce redness. Additionally, taking Punarnava and Guduchi can help reduce systemic inflammation and balance Pitta. Avoid spicy, hot foods, and include cooling foods like cucumber, ghee, and leafy greens in your diet. It is essential to maintain blood sugar control to prevent aggravation of inflammatory conditions. Regular follow-up with both your Ayurvedic practitioner and ophthalmologist is advised for comprehensive care.

What Is the Meaning of Nystagmus, and What Causes It?

54 days ago
1 answers

I recently heard about nystagmus, but I don’t fully understand what it means or what causes it. Now I’m wondering—what exactly is the meaning of nystagmus, and what are the possible causes? From what I understand, nystagmus is an involuntary movement of the eyes that can make it hard to focus. But what triggers this condition—is it caused by vision problems, neurological disorders, or something genetic? Can stress, fatigue, or medications also lead to temporary nystagmus? I also read that some people are born with nystagmus, while others develop it later in life due to brain injuries or inner ear problems. How is it diagnosed, and are there effective treatments to manage or reduce eye movement? Since I prefer natural treatments, I looked into Ayurveda’s approach to nystagmus and eye health. Are there Ayurvedic therapies, herbal treatments, or lifestyle changes that can help improve eye stability and reduce nystagmus symptoms? I found that Triphala, Brahmi, and eye exercises are often recommended—do these actually help in managing nystagmus naturally? For those who have experienced nystagmus, what treatments or lifestyle changes helped the most? Did medical treatments, vision therapy, or Ayurvedic remedies provide better symptom relief? I’d love to hear real experiences on managing nystagmus effectively.


Nystagmus is a condition characterized by involuntary, repetitive movements of the eyes, often making it difficult to focus on objects. The movements can be caused by various factors, including neurological disorders, vision problems, or inner ear issues. Some people are born with it (congenital nystagmus), while others may develop it later due to brain injuries, medications, or even stress and fatigue. It is commonly linked to conditions like multiple sclerosis, vestibular disorders, or eye misalignment. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye exam and neurological tests. While there are medical treatments such as corrective lenses, medication, or surgery, Ayurveda offers natural approaches like Triphala, Brahmi, and eye exercises, which are believed to help improve eye stability and reduce symptoms. Lifestyle changes, proper rest, and managing underlying conditions can also be beneficial in reducing the severity of nystagmus. Many people with nystagmus have found relief through a combination of vision therapy, Ayurvedic remedies, and managing stress and fatigue.

What causes an eye infection, and how can it be treated naturally?

For the past few days, my eye has been red, watery, and slightly swollen, and I think it might be an eye infection. I don’t know if it’s from bacteria, a virus, or an allergy, but it’s starting to feel uncomfortable. What exactly causes an eye infection, and how can I tell whether it’s bacterial, viral, or allergic? Does it always cause symptoms like redness, discharge, or irritation, or are there different signs depending on the type of infection? Also, how do eye infections spread—can they be caused by touching the eyes with unclean hands? I also want to know how eye infections are treated. Do antibiotic eye drops always work, or can some infections go away on their own? Are there Ayurvedic treatments like herbal washes or natural remedies that help clear an eye infection quickly? If anyone has had an eye infection, what was the cause, and what treatment worked best? Did you use natural remedies, or did you need prescription medication?


Eye infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergies, and symptoms may vary depending on the cause. Bacterial infections typically lead to thick, yellow or green discharge, while viral infections usually cause watery eyes and might be accompanied by a cold or other symptoms. Allergic reactions cause itching, redness, and swelling, often without discharge. Eye infections can spread through contact with contaminated surfaces or touching your eyes with unclean hands. Antibiotic eye drops are effective for bacterial infections, but viral infections generally resolve on their own. Ayurvedic remedies like washes with neem or turmeric can help soothe inflammation and clear infection naturally, but it's important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment, especially if symptoms persist or worsen.

Dristi Pradip

I’ve come across a lot of positive mentions of Dristi Pradip, a traditional Ayurvedic preparation, for improving vision and overall eye health. I’d like to know more about how it works and what conditions it can address. From what I understand, Dristi Pradip is used for improving eyesight and managing issues like blurred vision, eye strain, and dryness. Does it work for more severe conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, or age-related macular degeneration? If yes, how effective is it, and how long does it take to show results? What are the primary ingredients of Dristi Pradip, and how do they contribute to better eye health? Are there any specific properties that help in reducing inflammation or strengthening the optic nerves? Another question is about the proper way to use Dristi Pradip. Is it taken internally, or is it an external application like an eye drop or ointment? Are there any precautions to follow while using it, such as avoiding exposure to bright light immediately after application? Lastly, is Dristi Pradip safe for all age groups, including children and the elderly? Are there any side effects or contraindications to be aware of? If anyone has used Dristi Pradip for eye health, I’d love to hear your experience. Did it help improve your vision or relieve symptoms like redness and irritation?


Dristi Pradip is an Ayurvedic formulation that is commonly used to improve vision and address various eye health issues such as blurred vision, dryness, and eye strain. It contains a combination of herbs that are known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and nourishing properties, which can help support eye function and reduce oxidative stress. While it can be helpful for general eye health, its effectiveness in more severe conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, or age-related macular degeneration may vary and should be considered as part of a holistic approach rather than a standalone treatment. Dristi Pradip is typically used as an eye drop or ointment, and in some cases, it may be taken internally. It helps by reducing inflammation, improving circulation to the eyes, and supporting the optic nerves. It is important to avoid exposure to bright light immediately after application and follow the recommended dosage and usage instructions. While it is generally safe, it is best to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance, especially for children, the elderly, or individuals with pre-existing conditions. Side effects are rare but may include mild irritation in sensitive individuals.

Swollen Eyelid

38 days ago
1 answers

For the past few days, I have been dealing with a painful, swollen eyelid, which makes it difficult to open my eye fully in the morning. The swelling is more prominent on the upper eyelid, and I also feel a mild burning sensation and itching. Sometimes, the swelling goes down during the day, but it always returns in the morning, making me worried about what’s causing it. I read that swollen eyelids can be caused by allergies, infections (styes or conjunctivitis), blocked tear ducts, or even excessive eye strain. I want to know if Ayurveda has natural ways to reduce eyelid swelling, soothe irritation, and prevent future occurrences. I also tend to rub my eyes frequently, especially when I’m working long hours on the computer—could my eye strain or poor hygiene be worsening my eyelid swelling? Does Ayurveda classify eye infections and swelling as a Kapha or Pitta imbalance, and what are the best natural ways to reduce puffiness and improve eye health? I have read that Rose Water, Aloe Vera, and Turmeric are beneficial for soothing eye inflammation, reducing swelling, and preventing infections—would these help in naturally treating swollen eyelids? Are there any Ayurvedic cooling eye packs, herbal washes, or dietary adjustments that can help in preventing eyelid irritation and swelling? Since I prefer natural eye health solutions, I am looking for Ayurvedic treatments that can relieve swollen eyelids, reduce inflammation, and promote long-term eye wellness naturally. Please provide detailed Ayurvedic insights on swollen eyelids, their causes, and Ayurvedic approaches to soothing eye irritation.


Your symptoms of a swollen and painful eyelid with burning and itching, particularly in the morning, indicate a possible imbalance primarily involving Pitta dosha, often linked to inflammation and irritation. Excessive eye strain, especially from prolonged computer use, can exacerbate this issue. Frequent rubbing worsens inflammation and irritation, so it's essential to address this habit while exploring natural remedies. To soothe your eyelid swelling, you can use rose water as a gentle eye wash. Rose water has cooling properties and can reduce inflammation, so you might soak a cotton pad in rose water and gently place it on your eyelids for about 10-15 minutes twice a day. Aloe vera is also beneficial; you can apply a fresh aloe vera gel around the eye area, avoiding the actual eye, to help calm the skin. As for turmeric, it can help due to its anti-inflammatory properties, but it should be used in moderation and preferably as a dietary addition or in a herbal wash, rather than applied directly to the sensitive area. For an Ayurvedic herbal wash, boil 1 teaspoon of dried chamomile or fennel seeds in about 1 cup of water for 10 minutes. Allow this solution to cool and use it as a gentle eyewash. You can do this once in the morning and once in the evening, which may help reduce symptoms. Dietary adjustments are also important: consume more cooling foods such as cucumbers, coconut, and leafy greens, while avoiding spicy, oily, or overly salty foods that may aggravate Pitta. Drink plenty of water and herbal teas like peppermint or coriander that further calm Pitta. For long-term prevention, practice eye care routines: take regular breaks during screen time by following the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Additionally, consider practicing daily eye exercises, which promote relaxation and reduce strain. Remembering to maintain good hygiene—washing your hands before touching your eyes—will also help prevent any infections or irritation. If swelling persists or worsens, it is essential to seek professional medical advice to rule out infections like styes or conjunctivitis, ensuring a holistic approach that integrates both Ayurveda and modern medicine.

Ayurvedic Medicine for Eye Nerves

I’ve been experiencing discomfort in my eyes, particularly strain and occasional blurriness, and someone mentioned that weak eye nerves could be a possible cause. I’ve been looking into Ayurvedic medicine for eye nerves to understand how to strengthen them naturally. I’d love to know more about the treatments available and how Ayurveda approaches this issue. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda considers eye health to be closely linked to pitta dosha. Are there specific Ayurvedic medicines or herbs that help in strengthening eye nerves? For instance, I’ve come across remedies like Triphala Ghrita, Saptamrita Lauh, and Patanjali Drishti Eye Drops—how effective are these, and do they address underlying conditions like optic nerve damage, glaucoma, or macular degeneration? I’ve also read about rasayanas that rejuvenate the body and improve nerve health. Can Ayurvedic preparations like Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, or Ashwagandha be used to restore and protect the optic nerves? If so, how should they be taken, and for how long? Another question I have is about external therapies. Does Ayurveda recommend treatments like Netra Basti (eye oil bath) or herbal compresses to soothe and strengthen the eyes? Are these therapies safe for someone with pre-existing conditions like diabetes, which could also affect eye nerves? Lastly, are there any dietary or lifestyle changes to complement Ayurvedic medicine for eye nerves? Should specific foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E or dosha-pacifying diets be followed? If anyone has successfully treated weak eye nerves using Ayurveda, I’d love to hear about your experience. What remedies or therapies worked for you, and how long did it take to notice improvements?


Triphala Ghrita, Saptamrita Lauh, and Patanjali Drishti Eye Drops are commonly used for strengthening the eyes and improving overall vision. Triphala Ghrita is particularly beneficial for nourishing the eye tissues and calming pitta, which can help reduce strain and improve clarity. Saptamrita Lauh is used to balance pitta and support the optic nerves, while Drishti Eye Drops are known to relieve irritation and support eye health. However, these remedies are more effective for improving vision and supporting eye function rather than treating severe conditions like optic nerve damage or macular degeneration, which require more focused medical intervention. Rasayanas like Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, and Ashwagandha are excellent for rejuvenating the nervous system and can help protect the optic nerves. These herbs improve cognitive function, calm pitta, and enhance circulation, contributing to overall nerve health. Typically, these can be taken as powders or tablets, and it's recommended to use them for several weeks or months to notice significant improvements. External therapies such as Netra Basti (eye oil bath) and herbal compresses are highly effective for soothing and strengthening the eyes. These treatments can help relieve strain and nourish the eye muscles, but they should be done under the guidance of an experienced practitioner, especially if you have conditions like diabetes that may affect eye health.
