The drama to your eye which you describe above is pointing as the disturbance of Pitta and aggravation of vata dosha due to injury 1) saptamrit lauh - two tablet twice a day with honey and ghee mixed together 2) jivanthyadi ghritam- one teaspoon once a day early morning with warm milk or water 3) ani thailam- 2 drop in each nostrill once a day in morning 4) itone eye drop - 2 drop in each eye twice a day 👇👇👇👇👇👇 Rest: Avoid heavy lifting or straining, as physical pressure can exacerbate retinal issues after trauma. Minimize screen time for the next 7 days to reduce strain on the ocular nerves. Massage the soles of your feet with cow ghee or Ksheerabala Tailam before bed; this is traditionally believed to improve eye health. I strongly recommend you to go for Netra tarpana at your nearest Ayurvedic Clinic

You need to consult opthalmologist for evaluation Meanwhile you can start with Elaneer kuzhambu oil 2-3 drops in eyes, close eyelid, gently move the eyeballs to distribute evenly, keep eyes closed for 5 minutes and the wash with cool water. Take chyavanprash 2tsp once daily before breakfast with water.

Hello I can understand your concern even if there is no injury seen in your eyes but experiencing flickering lights should be evaluated carefully Please consult nearby Opthamologist as this cant be evaluated properly over an online platform You need a retinal examination to be done =What can you do now for temporary relief -Keep your eyes at rest -be in dim light , don’t expose yourself to direct bright light -Do not do jerky head movement Once your injury is properly evaluated when we start with ayurvedic medicines which will enhance healing In most of case it may be temporary eye irritation but a proper evaluation is essential Wishing you a good health Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Hello, First- this is not something to treat casually Seeing flickering lights/ flashes after a direct eye injury can indicate irritation or traction of the retina, In Modern medicine, this raises concern fr early signs of retinal detachment or vitreous disturbance, which sometimes starts exactly like this- even without pain, swelling or redness You should get an eye check (fungus exam ) within 24-48 hours. Ayurveda can support healing, but this symptoms needs ruling out serious damage first This is considered “Abhighataja Netra vikara” (trauma induced eye disturbance), involving -Vata aggravation-> flickering lights (like phosphenes) -Mild pitta aggravation-> subtle retinal irritation Ayurveda management 1) Immediate care (first 3-5 days) -strict eye rest (no screen, no bright light exposure) Avoid -rubbing eyes -late nights -heat/sun exposure Internal medications 1) Saptamrit lauham= 1 tab twice daily with honey =strengthens retina, reduces vata-pitta in eyes 2) Triphala guggulu= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =anti-inflammatory, supports healing after trauma 3) Mahatriphala ghritam= 1/2 tsp at bedtime with lukewarm milk =deep nourishment for optic tissues External therapies 1) Eye wash -use cooled triphala decoction (filtered very well) -once daily only if no irritation 2) Anu tailam nasya -2 drops in each nostril in morning =helps indirect nourishment of eye channels Diet very important -have more cow ghee -warm milk -green vegetables -amla (indian gooseberry) Avoid -spicy, fried, sour foods -alcohol -excess mobile/laptop use Consul immediately if you feel -increase in flashes -black spots/floater suddenly increase -curtain like shadow in vision -blurred or reduced vision Recovery expectation -mild trauma related flickering= 3-10 days improvement -If retinal involvement= need urgent care Ayurveda can support healing, but your symptoms is a classic warning sign after impact DO follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you
