What Causes Myopia, and Can It Be Reversed Naturally? - #15197

Anonymous

I recently noticed that I’m having trouble seeing things clearly at a distance, and my doctor told me I have myopia. From what I understand, myopia, or nearsightedness, happens when the eyeball is slightly longer than normal, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. But why does this happen, and can it be reversed naturally? I’ve read that myopia is mostly genetic, but can lifestyle factors like excessive screen time, poor lighting, or not spending enough time outdoors make it worse? I do work on a computer for long hours—could that be affecting my eyesight? Some people say that eye exercises, blue light filters, or specific diets can help slow down or even improve myopia. Are there any Ayurvedic remedies or lifestyle habits that can naturally strengthen eyesight and prevent myopia from worsening? I’ve also heard about orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses and other non-surgical methods to manage myopia. Do they actually work, or is laser surgery the only permanent solution? If anyone has myopia and has found ways to improve or stabilize their vision naturally, I’d love to hear your experiences!

Myopia (nearsightedness) occurs when the eyeball is elongated, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Genetics play a role, but excessive screen time, prolonged near work, and lack of outdoor exposure can worsen it by increasing eye strain and disrupting natural light exposure needed for eye development. Ayurveda recommends Triphala eyewash, Brahmi ghee, and eye exercises like Trataka (candle gazing) and palming to strengthen vision. A Pitta-pacifying diet rich in Amla (Vitamin C), leafy greens, and ghee supports eye health. Ortho-K lenses can temporarily reshape the cornea, while blue light filters and the 20-20-20 rule (looking 20 feet away every 20 minutes) help reduce digital strain. While laser surgery is a permanent fix, maintaining eye muscle flexibility and reducing strain can slow progression naturally.
