Needing to close your left eye to see properly after cataract surgery definitely isn’t normal and should be checked out right away.once consult your ophthalmologist asap for the detailed check up
it is not normal after surgery so kindly consult with concerned doctor
Need to check with your opthalmologist From ayurvedic treatment you can take amla juice 10ml twice daily before food with water, good for eyes Carrot juice daily also helps
After cataract surgery, vision disturbances can occur but, closing one eye to see things clearly isn’t typical and needs careful attention. Let’s dig a bit into this. First thing, visit your eye specialist. Rule out complications like a posterior capsule opacification, which sometimes happens after surgery, making vision blurry. It’s something your eye doctor can fix with a simple laser procedure called YAG laser capsulotomy.
While you’re sorting that out, Ayurveda can offer support, but it isn’t a substitute for immediate medical care. Cataract can develop from poor accumulation of toxins or ama in the body, often due to vitiation of the vata dosha. Post-surgery care from Ayurvedic perspective focuses on balancing vata, enhancing dhatu (tissue) strength, and removing ama, to stabilize overall health.
Consider incorporating some Triphala in your routine, either as a juice or powder. It’s renowned for eye health and can gently detoxify your system, promoting better vision. Try taking it with warm water before bedtime. Over a few weeks, you might notice improvements.
Eye exercises can offer benefit too. Simple palming — rubbing your hands together until warm and gently resting them over your eyes without apply pressure — can help relax eye muscles. Do this few times a day in quiet space, offering eyes a little break from strain.
Diet-wise, focus on foods high in antioxidants like leafy greens, carrots, and berries. Incorporate ghee into meals; it nourishes ojas (vital energy) and can support healing post-surgery.
Don’t ignore lifestyle aspects either — ensure enough restful sleep and manage stress levels with meditation or yoga, aligning your mind-body framework for optimal health. Addressing these factors as adjunct therapy alongside your ophthalmologist’s guidance can potentially make world of difference.
Remember, though, always keep your ophthalmologist in loop if incorporating Ayurvedic practices, making sure they align safely with overall treatment plan.
