Astigmatism - #18623
For the past few years, I have noticed that my vision is slightly blurry, especially when reading or looking at distant objects. I recently got an eye test, and the doctor told me that I have astigmatism, which means that my cornea is irregularly shaped, causing distorted vision. I read that astigmatism can cause eye strain, headaches, and difficulty focusing, especially when reading for long periods. I want to know if Ayurveda has natural ways to improve eye health, reduce strain, and possibly slow down the progression of astigmatism. I also spend long hours on the computer, and I don’t always follow proper eye exercises or screen breaks—could my lifestyle be worsening my astigmatism? Does Ayurveda classify vision problems as a Vata or Pitta imbalance, and what are the best natural ways to strengthen eyesight and reduce eye fatigue? I have read that Triphala, Amla, and Brahmi are beneficial for improving vision, reducing eye strain, and strengthening the optic nerves—would these help in naturally managing astigmatism? Are there any Ayurvedic eye exercises, herbal treatments, or dietary recommendations that can help in enhancing visual clarity and reducing eye discomfort? Since I prefer natural eye care solutions, I am looking for Ayurvedic treatments that can improve vision, reduce astigmatism effects, and support long-term eye health naturally. Please provide detailed Ayurvedic insights on astigmatism, its causes, and Ayurvedic approaches to eye care.
