myopia correction - #18197
Doctor, I’ve recently been diagnosed with myopia and have been wearing glasses for the past few months, but I’m wondering if there are other options for myopia correction that might work better for me. I’ve heard that contact lenses and even laser eye surgery can help correct myopia, but I’m not sure which treatment is the best choice. Can you explain the different myopia correction methods available today? I’m particularly curious about the pros and cons of laser eye surgery (LASIK). Is it safe for someone with my prescription, and how long does it take for the effects to become permanent? I’ve also heard that myopia is related to the elongation of the eyeball. Is this true, and could there be ways to stop the progression of myopia naturally? Are there any exercises or lifestyle changes that can help strengthen the eyes or prevent worsening myopia in the future? From an Ayurvedic perspective, how is myopia viewed, and are there any remedies or practices that could help improve vision naturally? I’ve heard that Triphala is good for eye health—could it help slow down the progression of myopia or improve my eye health in other ways? What dietary changes should I consider for better eye health, and are there specific herbs or oils that can support the eyes and vision over time?

peripheral vision - #18225
Doctor, I’ve been having some trouble with my peripheral vision, especially when I’m driving or trying to notice things in my side view. I’ve noticed that I can’t see things out of the corner of my eye as well as I used to, and I’m worried that this could be a sign of an underlying eye condition. I’ve heard that peripheral vision loss can occur with conditions like glaucoma or age-related macular degeneration, but I’m not sure what could be causing my issue. What exactly is peripheral vision, and how is it different from central vision? I’ve heard that it allows you to see objects outside of your direct line of sight, but how does it work in the eye? What conditions or diseases could cause peripheral vision loss, and what tests are used to diagnose this? From an Ayurvedic perspective, I’ve read that vision is closely related to Pitta dosha, which governs the eyes and the perception of light. Could an imbalance in Pitta be causing issues with peripheral vision? Are there any Ayurvedic remedies or herbs that can support vision and prevent deterioration of peripheral vision, such as Triphala, Brahmi, or Ashwagandha? How can I protect my peripheral vision in the future, and are there specific lifestyle or dietary changes I should consider to support overall eye health?
