Hello, It is important to acknowledge that experiencing new vertical double vision (diplopia) at age of 77 requires an immediate evaluation by an ophthalmologist or a neurologist. Vertical double vision can stem from issues with the cranial nerves, eye muscles, or even systemic conditions like giant cell arteritis or thyroid issues, which require professional diagnosis rather than home care. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these symptoms are generally classified under Drishti Dosha or Timira. This is often viewed as a Vata-Pitta imbalance. In older age (the Vata stage of life), the “Ruksha” (dryness) and “Kshaya” (depletion of tissues) qualities of Vata can affect the optic nerves and muscles, while Pitta relates to the “Alochaka Pitta,” which governs visual perception. Regarding your osteopenia, Ayurveda links bone health (Asthi Dhatu) closely with Vata; as Vata increases, bone density can decrease. 1. Saptamrit Lauh: This is a classic herbomineral formulation for eye strength. Take 1 tablet (250mg) twice daily with a teaspoon of honey and Ghee. 2. Triphala Ghritam: This is medicated cow’s ghee infused with Triphala. It is used to nourish the optic nerves. Take 1 teaspoon mixed in a cup of lukewarm milk or water at bedtime. 3. Anu Thailam: A medicated oil for “Nasya” (nasal drops). This helps clear the channels related to the head and eyes. Administer 2 drops in each nostril daily in the morning. 4. Ksheerabala 101 Capsules: To address the Vata/bone-loss aspect and nerve strength. Take 1 capsule twice daily before food with warm water. Gently wash your eyes with room-temperature Triphala water (soak Triphala powder overnight, strain through a fine cloth until no particles remain). Continue your nuts and seeds, but ensure they are soaked to reduce dryness. Add Amla (Indian Gooseberry) to your diet, as it is highly regarded for both eyes and bone health. Once cleared by a doctor, simple “Trataka” (steady gazing) or moving the eyes in a figure-eight pattern can help strengthen the extraocular muscles.
