Can Myopia Be Reversed Naturally, or Am I Stuck with Glasses Forever? - #15613

Anonymous

I’ve had myopia (nearsightedness) since I was a teenager, and every year my prescription seems to get worse. I started with a mild prescription, but now my glasses are so strong that I can barely see without them. My eye doctor told me that myopia is mostly genetic and that there’s no real way to reverse it, just to keep correcting it with stronger lenses. But I can’t help wondering—am I really stuck with glasses forever? I started looking into alternative methods to improve eyesight, and I found out that Ayurveda has an approach to eye health. Apparently, Ayurveda believes that poor vision is often linked to a Pitta imbalance and excessive strain on the eyes. Does this mean that with the right diet, herbs, and exercises, myopia could be slowed down or even improved? I came across something called Triphala eye wash and ghee-infused eye drops—has anyone tried these? Do they actually strengthen the eyes, or is it just a temporary effect? Also, are there any Ayurvedic treatments like herbal pastes or eye massages that can improve vision? Another thing I’m curious about is whether diet plays a role. I eat a lot of processed food and don’t always get enough leafy greens or vitamin-rich foods. Could nutritional deficiencies be making my myopia worse? Should I be eating more foods rich in vitamin A, omega-3s, or other nutrients? Lastly, I’ve seen people online talk about eye yoga and relaxation exercises for myopia. Have these worked for anyone? If you’ve managed to stop your prescription from getting worse—or even improved your vision naturally—please share what worked for you! I really don’t want to rely on glasses forever if there’s a way to slow down or reverse myopia naturally.

Doctors’ responses

Myopia is largely influenced by genetics and eye strain, but there are natural ways to support eye health and potentially slow down the progression. Ayurveda views vision problems as a Pitta imbalance, often aggravated by excessive screen time, stress, and poor diet. While myopia may not be completely reversible, Ayurvedic remedies, eye exercises, and lifestyle changes can help strengthen the eyes and reduce strain. Triphala eye wash and ghee-infused eye drops (like Triphala Ghrita) are known in Ayurveda for nourishing the optic nerves and reducing dryness. Many people find these remedies refreshing, but their long-term impact on myopia varies. Netra Basti (eye oil therapy), gentle eye massages, and cooling herbal pastes with rose water or sandalwood can also help soothe tired eyes. Additionally, a diet rich in vitamin A (carrots, leafy greens), omega-3s (flaxseeds, walnuts), and antioxidants (amla, berries) can support overall eye health. Reducing processed foods and increasing hydration can also benefit vision. Eye yoga and relaxation techniques, such as palming, near-far focusing, and eye rolling, may help improve flexibility in the eye muscles and reduce strain. The Bates Method and Ayurvedic eye exercises focus on relaxing the eyes and improving blood circulation. While these techniques may not eliminate myopia, they can prevent rapid worsening and improve overall eye function. If you want to reduce dependency on glasses, combining Ayurvedic remedies, a nutrient-rich diet, and daily eye exercises may help maintain your current vision and reduce further deterioration. Have you tried any of these methods yet?
