Slit Lamp Examination: Can Ayurveda Help with Eye Health Naturally? - #16289

For the past few weeks, I’ve been having some issues with my eyes—redness, dryness, and a slight burning sensation, especially when I work long hours on the computer. I also started noticing some blurriness at night, which made me really anxious. I finally went to an eye doctor, and they performed a slit lamp examination to check my eyes more closely. The doctor told me that my eyes are dry and slightly inflamed, possibly due to excessive screen time, poor sleep, and general fatigue. They suggested artificial tears and some lifestyle changes, but I wasn’t given a clear answer about whether this issue would go away permanently. I’ve been reading about Ayurveda and how it approaches eye health differently. Can Ayurvedic treatments help heal the eyes and prevent future issues without relying on eye drops all the time? I also found out that a slit lamp examination is used to check for deeper eye problems like cataracts, corneal damage, and infections. That got me thinking—are there Ayurvedic methods to strengthen and protect eye health before serious issues develop? I read that Triphala eyewash and medicated ghee like Jeevantyadi Ghrita are good for eye health, but do they actually work to prevent dryness and inflammation? Another concern—my digestion hasn’t been great lately, and I’ve heard Ayurveda connects gut health with eye health. Could my weak digestion be affecting my eyes? If so, are there Ayurvedic herbs or diet changes that would help improve both digestion and vision at the same time? If anyone here has used Ayurveda for eye health, did it make a real difference? Can Ayurvedic therapies help restore moisture to the eyes and reduce strain from screens? I’d love to know if there are long-term natural solutions instead of just managing symptoms with lubricating drops.
