What are contact lenses and how can Ayurveda help with eye health and comfort? - #16625
For the past few years, I’ve been using contact lenses to correct my vision, and they’ve been working fine, but I’ve recently been experiencing some dryness, irritation, and discomfort in my eyes, especially after wearing them for long periods of time. I’ve tried different brands, but the irritation doesn’t seem to go away. My doctor suggested using eye drops to moisturize my eyes, but I’m wondering if there are long-term solutions to improving eye comfort while wearing contact lenses. I’ve heard that Ayurveda has a unique approach to eye health and vision problems, so I started researching whether there are natural remedies that can help improve eye comfort while using contact lenses. Does Ayurveda suggest any specific herbs, oils, or practices to moisturize and strengthen the eyes? Are there specific Ayurvedic oils like Triphala, castor oil, or ghee that can be used to nourish and improve eye health without causing irritation? I also want to know if Ayurveda recommends any dietary changes or herbal supplements that can support healthy vision and eye moisture. I’ve heard that Amla (Indian gooseberry) and saffron are beneficial for the eyes, but I’m unsure how they work. If anyone has experience with using Ayurvedic remedies for dry eyes or discomfort from contact lenses, I’d love to hear what worked for you.
