photoreceptors - #19286

For the past few months, I’ve noticed that my night vision has been getting worse, and I struggle to see clearly in dim lighting. I also experience eye strain when looking at screens for long periods, which makes me wonder if my photoreceptors are being affected. I read that photoreceptors are the specialized cells in the retina that allow us to see light and colors, and their health is crucial for good vision. Since Ayurveda places a lot of emphasis on eye care, does it offer any natural ways to support and strengthen photoreceptors? From what I understand, there are two types of photoreceptors: rods, which help with low-light vision, and cones, which allow us to see colors and details. If someone is struggling with night vision, does Ayurveda recognize it as a sign of Pitta imbalance, and if so, what are the best Ayurvedic treatments for improving eyesight? I have also read that photoreceptors can become weak due to excessive screen time, poor diet, and oxidative stress. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala, Amla, or Saptamrita Lauh that can help nourish the eyes and protect photoreceptors from damage? Would Ayurvedic therapies like Netra Tarpana (ghee eye bath) be beneficial for someone experiencing vision decline? Another concern I have is whether diet plays a role in the function of photoreceptors. Are there specific Ayurvedic foods or lifestyle changes that can naturally enhance eye health and protect against age-related vision decline? Should I avoid certain foods that may worsen eye strain or inflammation? I want to improve my vision naturally and ensure that my photoreceptors remain healthy in the long run. What are the best Ayurvedic herbs, treatments, and dietary changes that support eye health and strengthen the retina?
