What Is the Eye and How Can Ayurveda Help in Improving Vision and Eye Health Naturally? - #16099

Lately, I have been experiencing occasional dryness, eye strain, and mild blurriness, which made me start researching more about eye health. While I understand that the eye is a complex organ responsible for vision, I want to learn more about how to naturally maintain healthy eyesight and prevent vision deterioration. From what I understand, the eye works by capturing light and converting it into signals that the brain processes into images. But what I do not fully understand is why some people develop eye problems earlier in life while others maintain perfect vision for years. Are screen time, poor diet, and genetics the main factors affecting eye health, or do other lifestyle habits play a role? I have read that Ayurveda considers the eye as governed by the Pitta dosha and that excessive heat, strain, or dryness can lead to vision problems. Are there specific Ayurvedic treatments, such as Triphala eye washes, castor oil massages, or herbal eye drops, that help in keeping the eye healthy? Also, does Ayurveda recommend any exercises or techniques to reduce eye strain and strengthen vision naturally? Another thing I am wondering about is whether diet plays a role in eye health. Should I be eating more ghee, leafy greens, or nuts to support my vision? Also, does Ayurveda suggest avoiding certain foods, such as excessive caffeine or sugar, that might negatively impact the eye? If anyone has successfully improved their eye health using Ayurvedic remedies, I would love to hear what worked for them. I want to explore a natural and holistic approach to maintaining clear vision.
