Normal eye vision – How does Ayurveda maintain and improve eyesight? - #16794

Anonymously

For the past year, I’ve noticed my eyesight getting slightly worse, especially when I spend long hours on my laptop or phone. I don’t have major vision problems yet, but I can tell that my eyes are getting tired more quickly, and sometimes things in the distance look a little blurry. I want to take care of my eyes before it gets any worse, but I don’t want to rely on glasses if I don’t absolutely need them. I started reading about Ayurveda and vision health, and I saw that Ayurveda has a completely different approach to maintaining normal eye vision. Instead of just correcting vision with glasses, Ayurveda focuses on strengthening the eyes naturally. Are there any Ayurvedic herbs, remedies, or exercises that can help maintain normal eye vision? I’ve heard that Triphala is good for eye health, but I don’t know how to use it correctly. Also, do certain foods help keep the eyes strong? I’ve read that ghee is beneficial, but I’m not sure how it works. Lastly, are there specific Ayurvedic eye exercises or therapies that can improve vision naturally? I want to do everything I can to protect my eyesight and keep my vision sharp as I get older. Has anyone used Ayurveda to improve or maintain their normal eye vision? If so, what worked for you?

Doctors’ responses

Ayurveda considers eye health closely linked to Pitta dosha, which governs vision and light perception. When Pitta is imbalanced due to excessive screen time, stress, or poor diet, it can lead to eye strain, dryness, and weakened vision. Ayurveda focuses on nourishing and strengthening the eyes naturally through herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, and specific exercises. Herbs and Remedies: Triphala is one of the best Ayurvedic remedies for eye health. You can drink Triphala water (soak Triphala powder in water overnight, strain, and drink in the morning) or use it as an eyewash by rinsing your eyes with the strained liquid. Amla (Indian gooseberry), rich in vitamin C, is another powerful herb that strengthens eyesight. Consuming ghee (especially medicated ghee like Mahatriphala Ghrita) can also nourish the optic nerves and reduce dryness. Diet for Eye Health: Ayurveda recommends foods rich in Vitamin A and antioxidants, such as carrots, leafy greens, almonds, walnuts, and cow’s ghee. Hydrating the body with cooling foods like cucumber, fennel, and coconut water can help balance Pitta and prevent eye strain. Reducing spicy, fried, and processed foods can also prevent eye-related issues. Eye Exercises and Therapies: Practicing Trataka (candle gazing meditation) helps strengthen the eye muscles and improve focus. Palming (rubbing hands together and placing warm palms over closed eyes) relieves strain from excessive screen time. Ayurveda also suggests Netra Tarpana, a therapy where medicated ghee is retained around the eyes for deep nourishment—this is best done under expert supervision. Following these Ayurvedic practices consistently can help maintain normal eye vision, reduce strain, and prevent further deterioration. If you experience persistent blurriness, consulting an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized recommendations would be beneficial.
