Itchy and burning eyes, especially from increased screen time, can result from strain, dryness, or an imbalance of the doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. Ayurveda recommends using soothing eye drops made from rose water or Triphala to relieve irritation and cool the eyes. You can also apply a cold compress or a gentle Ayurvedic eye wash using Triphala water to flush out any impurities. Taking regular breaks from screens using the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds) can help reduce strain. Additionally, using protective glasses as recommended by your doctor can help shield your eyes from strain and further irritation. It's essential to also hydrate well and practice eye exercises to improve blood circulation and reduce discomfort.

It sounds like your eyes have been really bothering you lately, and I get that's super frustrating. With all that screen time, it’s no surprise your eyes could use a bit of a breather. And, hey, I totally get the thing with v glasses - sometimes we need a little push to take that advice! From an Ayurvedic perspective, it seems like there might be a Pitta imbalance going on here. All that heat and irritation fits the bill. First, let's try to soothe those tired eyes. You might find a triphala eyewash helpful. Just get some triphala powder, make a decoction by boiling one teaspoon of powder with a cup of water. Strain well, let it cool and use it as an eyewash. Also, applying a few drops of pure rose water directly in the eyes can bring instant relief - do this a couple of times a day. Diet can also play a role here. Load up more on cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, and coconut water. Avoid spicy and fried stuff for now; they can exacerbate the issue. Also, staying hydrated is key to keeping Pitta at bay – drink plenty of water. About screen time, those breaks are essential! Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 mins spent looking at a screen, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Give those eyes of yours a breather, seriously. Oh, and really consider wearing those glasses. They might seem like an annoyance, but they’re meant to help reduce eye strain which is exactly what you need right now. Finally, if the burning and itchiness persist or get worse, probably a visit back to the doctor is in order. Sometimes a little more support or different treatment is needed. Be safe and keep those peepers happy!
