Mujhe optic nerve trophy hui hai aur mujhe left eye se dikhna bhi band ho gaya hai kya iska treatment possible hai agar hai to please help Me sir


Optic nerve atrophy is a serious condition where the optic nerve is damaged, leading to vision loss. In Ayurveda, the focus is on balancing *vata* dosha, which governs nerve functions. While complete restoration of vision in optic nerve atrophy may not be fully possible, Ayurveda can help in managing symptoms, improving overall eye health, and preventing further damage. Herbs like *Punarnava*, *Triphala*, *Ashwagandha*, and *Brahmi* may be beneficial for strengthening the nervous system and improving circulation. *Anu taila* nasal drops and *Sarpagandha* can be used to nourish the nervous system. You should also follow a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamin A, and omega-3 fatty acids to support eye health. However, it is crucial to work with both an Ayurvedic practitioner and your regular healthcare provider for the best possible treatment plan.

dark circles

I’ve been noticing persistent dark circles under my eyes, and it’s starting to make me look tired all the time. I’ve tried using creams and home remedies, but nothing seems to help. Could you explain what causes dark circles under the eyes, and why some people are more prone to them than others? From what I understand, dark circles can be caused by a variety of factors, like lack of sleep, allergies, or even genetics. Could lifestyle factors like stress, dehydration, or diet contribute to the appearance of dark circles, and how can I address these underlying causes? Is there anything I should be doing differently to prevent dark circles from forming or worsening? I’ve also heard that dark circles can be a sign of poor circulation or thinning skin around the eyes. How do these factors contribute to the development of dark circles, and is there anything I can do to improve circulation or strengthen the skin around my eyes? Are there any professional treatments, like laser therapy or chemical peels, that can help reduce the appearance of dark circles for long-term improvement? Lastly, I’m curious about whether certain foods or supplements can help reduce dark circles. Should I be increasing my intake of vitamin K, iron, or antioxidants, or is there a particular skincare ingredient that’s effective for treating dark circles? If you have advice on how to treat or prevent dark circles, I’d appreciate any tips on managing this issue.


Dark circles under the eyes can be influenced by multiple factors, including lifestyle, diet, and genetics. In Ayurveda, they often reflect an imbalance in the doshas, particularly if there is excess Vata or Pitta. Stress and insufficient sleep can lead to Vata aggravation, while Pitta might be aggravated by poor dietary choices, skin inflammation, or allergies. To address these underlying causes, prioritize a consistent sleep schedule aiming for at least 7-8 hours of restful sleep each night. Incorporate cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens into your diet, as they help counteract Pitta and support hydration. Dehydration can exacerbate dark circles, so ensure you’re drinking adequate water throughout the day, aiming for at least 2-3 liters, and consider drinking warming herbal teas such as chamomile for their calming effects. Additionally, managing stress through yoga or meditation can help balance Vata. For circulation improvement, gentle massage around the eyes using a blend of almond oil and a few drops of rose essential oil can enhance blood flow and nourish the skin. In regard to dietary support, focus on foods rich in vitamin K and antioxidants. Incorporate leafy greens, berries, and nuts, and consider supplements with vitamin E and C for skin health. You can also apply a natural paste of grated potato or cucumber around the eyes for their astringent and cooling properties. While professional treatments like laser therapy or chemical peels may offer aesthetic benefits, they should be approached with caution. Always prioritize natural methods before considering invasive treatments. Remember, consistent care and addressing the root causes holistically through Ayurveda could lead to sustainable improvement in the appearance of dark circles.

What is the best Patanjali medicine for eyesight improvement?

101 days ago
1 answers

I’ve been struggling with weak eyesight and tired eyes, especially after long hours of screen time. I’ve heard that Patanjali offers Ayurvedic remedies for improving vision. What is the best Patanjali medicine for eyesight improvement, and how effective is it? From what I’ve read, Patanjali offers products like Divya Drishti and Divya Amalaki Rasayan. Divya Drishti is a herbal eye drop that claims to soothe and cleanse the eyes, while Amalaki Rasayan is said to strengthen vision from within. Are these remedies effective for common problems like blurred vision or eye strain? I’m also curious about the dosage and method of use. Should Divya Amalaki Rasayan be taken daily, and how long does it take to notice improvements in vision? Are there any specific exercises or dietary changes that should accompany these remedies for better results? If anyone has used Patanjali products for eyesight improvement, I’d love to know your experience. Did they help reduce your dependency on glasses or improve overall eye health?


For weak eyesight and tired eyes, Patanjali offers remedies like Divya Drishti (herbal eye drops) and Divya Amalaki Rasayan (a vitamin C-rich supplement). Divya Drishti soothes eye strain, cleanses, and reduces irritation when used 1-2 times daily. Divya Amalaki Rasayan strengthens vision from within when taken 1 tsp twice daily with water or honey. These remedies can help with eye strain and mild vision issues but may not completely reverse blurry vision or dependency on glasses. Combine them with dietary changes (e.g., leafy greens, carrots, almonds) and eye exercises (like palming or focusing techniques) for better results. Improvements may take 1–3 months with consistent use.

Why can't I look at a thing continually as it starts blurring after some time

Vision problems.. like I can't see objects clearly they appear like blurring or shaking Also I want my hair to grow fuller and thicker. During my teen age I had good hair but now they are loosing scalp is visible please help


It seems like you're experiencing a combination of vision issues and hair thinning, which could both be linked to underlying imbalances in your body according to Ayurveda. Vision problems, like blurring or shakiness, may be related to a disturbance in the Pitta dosha, which governs vision and the clarity of perception. To address this, herbs like Triphala, Amla, and Ashwagandha can be helpful for strengthening the eyes and supporting overall eye health. For your hair, hair thinning and visible scalp could be related to imbalances in both Pitta and Vata doshas, along with possible genetic factors. To support hair growth, nourishing the scalp with Ayurvedic oils such as Bhringraj oil, Amla oil, or Brahmi oil can help rejuvenate hair follicles. Internally, strengthening treatments with herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Guduchi may improve hair health and reduce hair loss. You should also focus on a balanced diet with plenty of healthy fats (like ghee and sesame oil) and proteins, as well as stress reduction techniques like meditation, as stress can exacerbate both hair loss and vision problems.

Buphthalmos

5 answers

A few months ago, my cousin’s child was diagnosed with buphthalmos, and our family had never heard of this condition before. The doctors explained that it causes an abnormal enlargement of the eye due to high pressure, but I don’t fully understand why it happens. What exactly is buphthalmos, and how does it affect vision and eye health? From what I read, buphthalmos is usually linked to congenital glaucoma, but are there other reasons why a child might develop this condition? Can it also occur in adults, or is it only seen in infants and young children? If left untreated, does buphthalmos always lead to blindness, or can vision be preserved with proper treatment? Are there Ayurvedic treatments that can help manage buphthalmos naturally? I have read that Ayurveda focuses on balancing eye pressure and improving overall eye health—are there specific herbs like Triphala or Brahmi that help in such conditions? Can Ayurvedic eye treatments like Netra Basti help relieve intraocular pressure and slow the progression of buphthalmos? How does diet affect buphthalmos? Are there Ayurvedic foods or lifestyle practices that support healthy vision and prevent worsening of this condition? If someone has a family history of congenital eye disorders, does Ayurveda recommend preventive measures to protect eye health from birth? Are there Ayurvedic therapies, such as eye massages or herbal applications, that can help with buphthalmos? If someone has been diagnosed with this condition, how long does it take for Ayurvedic treatments to show improvement? What are the best long-term Ayurvedic approaches to maintaining eye health and preventing vision loss in individuals with buphthalmos?


Buphthalmos is a rare condition in children where the eyes become abnormally enlarged due to high intraocular pressure (IOP), usually caused by congenital glaucoma. This increased pressure can damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss if not managed properly. While congenital glaucoma is the primary cause, other factors like genetic disorders, intrauterine infections, or developmental abnormalities may also contribute. Buphthalmos mainly affects infants and young children, but untreated glaucoma in adults can also lead to severe eye enlargement and vision problems. If not treated early, the condition can cause permanent blindness due to optic nerve damage. Ayurveda focuses on reducing eye pressure, strengthening optic nerves, and improving overall eye health. Herbs like Triphala (for cleansing), Brahmi (for nerve health), and Yashtimadhu (for inflammation) are traditionally used to support vision. Ayurvedic treatments like Netra Basti (therapeutic eye bath with medicated ghee), Triphala eyewash, and Nasya (nasal oil therapy) can help in maintaining eye lubrication, reducing pressure, and improving circulation. While Ayurveda cannot reverse structural damage, these therapies may support eye function and slow progression when combined with conventional medical treatment. A proper diet and lifestyle play a key role in managing eye health. Ayurveda recommends foods rich in Vitamin A (carrots, leafy greens), antioxidants (amla, berries), and cooling foods (cucumber, coconut water) to balance Pitta and prevent inflammation. Avoiding excessive screen time, exposure to harsh light, and reducing stress is also important. If there is a family history of eye disorders, Ayurveda suggests protective measures from birth, such as herbal eye drops, head massages with Brahmi oil, and regular eye cleansing with Triphala water to maintain healthy vision. Consulting an Ayurvedic specialist alongside an ophthalmologist can provide the best approach for managing buphthalmos naturally.

What causes chalazion, and how can it be treated naturally?

A few weeks ago, I noticed a small lump on my eyelid that wasn’t painful but felt firm to the touch. At first, I thought it was a stye, but it never became red or sore. After looking it up, I found out it might be a chalazion. What exactly causes a chalazion, and how is it different from a stye? I read that it forms when an oil gland in the eyelid gets blocked, but why does that happen? Are certain people more prone to developing chalazions? What are the best ways to treat a chalazion? I saw that warm compresses can help, but do they always work, or do some cases require medical treatment? Also, are there Ayurvedic remedies like herbal washes or oils that help reduce the swelling faster? If anyone has had a chalazion before, how long did it take to go away? Did you need surgery, or did it heal naturally? Also, how can I prevent getting another chalazion in the future?


A chalazion is a small, firm lump that develops on the eyelid due to a blocked oil gland (meibomian gland). Unlike a stye, which is usually caused by an infected gland and is red and painful, a chalazion is typically not infected and may not cause significant discomfort. Causes: A chalazion forms when the oil-producing glands in the eyelid get blocked, leading to a buildup of oil. This can happen for several reasons: Poor hygiene around the eyes. Inflammatory conditions like rosacea. Excessive rubbing of the eyes. Chronic blepharitis (eyelid inflammation). Certain people may be more prone to chalazions, such as those with oily skin, blepharitis, or rosacea. Treatment: Warm compresses: Applying a warm, damp cloth to the affected eyelid for 10–15 minutes several times a day can help soften the oil and promote drainage. This is often the first-line treatment. Massage: Gently massaging the eyelid after using a warm compress can help open the blocked gland. Medical treatment: If the chalazion doesn’t improve, a doctor may recommend drainage, steroid injections, or, in rare cases, minor surgery. Ayurvedic Remedies: Herbal washes with chamomile or neem might help with inflammation and cleanliness. Castor oil or coconut oil can be gently massaged around the area for their anti-inflammatory properties. Prevention: To prevent future chalazions, consider: Maintaining eyelid hygiene: Regularly cleaning your eyelids with a mild eyelid scrub or baby shampoo. Avoiding touching or rubbing your eyes frequently. Managing conditions like blepharitis or rosacea if they apply. Personal Experience: If you’ve had a chalazion before, many people find that warm compresses work well to resolve the lump. However, if it persists or causes vision problems, seeking medical advice is recommended.

Namaste, Natasha. Based on your symptoms, it seems your vision issues may be related to eye strain or sensitivity caused by the eye drops. Ayurvedic remedies to support eye health include: Triphala Wash: Boil Triphala powder in water, strain, and use as an eyewash once cooled.

What Is the Function of the Eye, and How Does It Help Us See?

I recently started learning more about how the human eye works, and I was fascinated by its complexity. From what I understand, the eye functions like a camera, capturing light and sending signals to the brain to create an image, but how exactly does this process happen? I read that the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve all play essential roles in vision, but what happens when one part of the eye doesn’t function properly? How do common vision problems like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism develop, and what can be done to correct them? One thing that concerns me is how aging, digital screen exposure, and poor nutrition can affect eye function over time. What are the best ways to keep the eyes healthy and prevent vision loss? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural remedies that help improve eye health and vision clarity? I’ve heard that Triphala, Amla, and Ghee therapy (Netra Tarpana) are used in Ayurveda for better eyesight—do these actually help protect eye function? If anyone has studied eye function, what was the most interesting thing you learned? Did you notice any improvements in your vision by making lifestyle or dietary changes?


The human eye is a remarkable organ that works much like a camera. Light enters through the cornea, passes through the pupil, and is focused by the lens onto the retina, where specialized cells convert the light into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted via the optic nerve to the brain, where they are processed to form an image. Vision problems like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism occur when the eye's shape or the lens's ability to focus light is disrupted, leading to blurry vision. These issues can often be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Aging, digital screen exposure, and poor nutrition can contribute to eye strain and conditions like cataracts or macular degeneration over time. To maintain eye health, it's important to take breaks from screens, eat nutrient-rich foods (especially those high in vitamin A, C, and E), and protect your eyes from UV rays. Ayurvedic remedies like Triphala, Amla, and Ghee therapy (Netra Tarpana) are believed to help nourish and strengthen the eyes, though scientific evidence for their effectiveness in protecting or improving eyesight is limited. Many people report improvements in eye comfort and health when making lifestyle adjustments such as incorporating nutrient-dense foods, practicing good eye hygiene, and engaging in exercises that relax the eyes.

I’ve been experiencing some discomfort in my eyes lately, with a sensation of dryness, grittiness, and occasional itching. It’s been bothering me for a while now, and even though I’ve tried using over-the-counter artificial tears, the relief has been temporary at best. After visiting my eye doctor, I was told that I might be dealing with MGD (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction), which I didn’t know much about until now. I’ve done some research and learned that MGD occurs when the Meibomian glands, located in the eyelids, become blocked or underperform, leading to insufficient oil in the tears and causing dry eye symptoms. From what I understand, MGD is a leading cause of dry eye disease, but I’m still unclear about the exact causes and how it develops. Is it primarily related to age, or can younger people develop MGD as well? I’ve heard that things like environmental factors, extended screen time, or even certain medications can contribute to the development of MGD. Could my excessive use of digital devices be one of the main culprits in my case? I also have a family history of dry eyes, so I’m wondering if there’s a genetic component involved. I’m also concerned about how to manage MGD in the long term. I know that keeping the eyelids clean and warm compresses can help, but I’ve been doing those for a while with limited results. Are there any other treatments or procedures, like LipiFlow, that can help improve gland function and reduce dry eye symptoms? How effective are these treatments, and are they worth the cost and time commitment? I’ve heard about using omega-3 fatty acids to improve tear production—would this really make a difference in managing MGD? Has anyone else been diagnosed with MGD? What treatments worked for you, and how long did it take to start noticing improvement?


Thank you for sharing your experience with MGD. The symptoms you're describing—dryness, grittiness, and occasional itching—are quite common with this condition. MGD can indeed affect individuals of all ages, and factors such as extended screen time, environmental elements (like air conditioning or heating), certain medications, and genetic predisposition can contribute to its development. From an Ayurvedic perspective, MGD can be linked to imbalances in the doshas, particularly Vata, which governs dryness and mobility. Here’s a personalized approach to manage your symptoms more effectively: Lifestyle Adjustments 1. Screen Breaks: Implement the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This helps to reduce strain on the eyes. 2. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall hydration and potentially improve tear production. Dietary Changes 1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Include foods rich in omega-3s, such as flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and fatty fish like salmon. Aim for at least 2 servings of fatty fish per week or consider a quality omega-3 supplement. 2. Herbs: Incorporate cooling herbs such as coriander and fennel, which can benefit hydration. Ayurvedic Remedies 1. Triphala Eye Wash: Prepare a mild solution of Triphala in warm water and use it to wash your eyes gently. This can help clear any debris and soothe irritation. 2. Ghee (clarified butter): Applying a small amount of warmed ghee around the eyelids (avoid direct application in the eye) may nourish the area effectively. Eye Care Routine 1. Warm Compresses: Continue with daily warm compresses to help open blocked Meibomian glands. Do this for 10-15 minutes twice daily. 2. Eyelid Hygiene: Use a gentle eyelid scrub (or diluted diluted baby shampoo) to keep eyelids clean. Treatments and Procedures While procedures like LipiFlow are available and can be effective, their success may vary from person to person. Consult with your eye care provider about incorporating these along with your Ayurvedic regimen for optimal benefit. Stress Management Since stress can exacerbate Vata imbalances, consider practices such as yoga or meditation to promote relaxation and overall balance. This comprehensive approach, tailored to your lifestyle and symptoms, should help alleviate discomfort from MGD over time. Regular follow-ups with both your eye doctor and keeping this Ayurvedic framework in mind will be beneficial. Please let me know if you have further questions or need more assistance!

What Is the Function of the Optic Nerve, and How Does It Affect Vision?

I recently started learning about the optic nerve, and I wanted to understand its importance in vision. From what I understand, the optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain, but how exactly does this process work? I read that optic nerve damage can lead to vision loss, blind spots, and even conditions like glaucoma or optic neuritis, but what are the common causes of optic nerve dysfunction? How can you recognize early signs of optic nerve damage before it leads to severe vision impairment? One thing that concerns me is whether screen time, diet, or lifestyle factors affect optic nerve health. What are the best ways to protect the optic nerve and maintain healthy eyesight? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural treatments that help with optic nerve health and vision improvement? I’ve heard that Triphala, Brahmi, and Netra Tarpana (eye oil therapy) can help support nerve health and eye function—do these actually work? If anyone has experienced optic nerve issues, what treatments helped the most? Did eye exercises, diet changes, or medical treatments make a difference?


The optic nerve plays a crucial role in vision by transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain for processing, allowing us to perceive what we see. Light entering the eye is converted into electrical signals by photoreceptor cells in the retina, which are then transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain’s visual centers. Damage to the optic nerve can result in conditions like glaucoma, optic neuritis, or vision loss, often caused by increased intraocular pressure, inflammation, or poor blood flow. Early signs of optic nerve dysfunction may include blurry vision, blind spots, or difficulty seeing in low light, which should be addressed by an eye care professional before it leads to significant vision impairment. Lifestyle factors such as prolonged screen time, poor diet, and lack of proper sleep can negatively affect optic nerve health, so protecting your eyesight involves maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as taking breaks from screens and practicing eye exercises. Ayurvedic treatments like Triphala, which is known for its antioxidant properties, Brahmi (which supports cognitive function), and Netra Tarpana (a traditional eye oil therapy), may help nourish and support the optic nerve, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation, potentially enhancing vision and nerve health. People who have experienced optic nerve issues often find that a combination of proper medical treatment, diet changes, eye exercises, and occasional Ayurvedic support can make a significant difference in managing and improving eye health.
