Namaste, dear one,
Thank you for opening up and sharing your journey. I understand how frustrating and worrying it can be to watch your eyesight power continue increasing, especially when it feels like there’s nothing you can do to stop it. But I want to tell you: there is hope—especially when we look through the lens of Ayurveda, which approaches the body as a whole system and believes in healing from the root.
Let me share a detailed explanation and guidance, based on Ayurveda, lifestyle principles, and my experience helping patients like you.
In Ayurveda, eyes (Netra) are governed mainly by the Pitta dosha, particularly Alochaka Pitta, a subdosha responsible for vision and clarity. When this Pitta becomes imbalanced—due to excess screen exposure, poor digestion, stress, lack of sleep, and wrong diet—it affects the nourishment of the eye tissues.
Also, Vata dosha plays a role in degeneration, dryness, and weakening of the nervous system, including the optic nerves. That’s why as you grow and if these imbalances are not corrected, the power keeps increasing.
Common Causes for Weakening Vision in Today’s Youth
Excessive screen time: phones, computers, gaming, and TV
Late nights: disturbing the natural body-clock (circadian rhythm)
Lack of proper sunlight and outdoor exposure
Overuse of artificial lighting
Poor digestion and low nutrition absorption
Stress and anxiety
Suppressed natural urges (like delaying urination, sleep, etc.)
Not practicing eye relaxation and blinking during work or study
in many cases, further progression can be stopped, and in mild to moderate cases, power can even be reduced over time by healing the root causes, supporting eye health, and strengthening ocular tissues.
Since your current power is already quite high (-7.75 & -7.5), we may not completely reverse it immediately, but we can work toward:
Halting further increase
Reducing eye strain
Improving eye health
Potentially decreasing dependency on glasses
MahaTriphala Ghrita: A medicated ghee excellent for eyes. Take 1 tsp with warm water or milk before bedtime.
Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Natural source of Vitamin C and eye tonic. You can take:
1–2 tsp of Amla juice in the morning
Triphala Churna: Mix 1 tsp in warm water and take it at night to detoxify the system and support eyes.
Netra Tarpana (Eye Rejuvenation Therapy)-This is a powerful Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy where medicated ghee is gently pooled over the eyes in a dough dam. It nourishes, relaxes, and revitalizes eye tissues. Highly recommended if you can visit an authentic Ayurvedic center.
Eye Exercises (Do These Daily)
Palming: Rub palms together and place gently over closed eyes. Do this 3–5 times a day.
Trataka: Candle gazing—strengthens eye muscles and improves focus.
Rotation exercises: Move eyes left-right, up-down, diagonal and circular—do each 5 times slowly.
Blinking: 10–15 quick blinks followed by closing eyes and relaxing.
Sun Gazing (early morning only): 5–10 minutes of closed-eye exposure to the early sun, preferably during Surya Namaskar.
Follow Dinacharya (daily routine): Wake up early, clean eyes with cool water, avoid late nights.
Avoid screen after sunset or at least use blue-light filters.
Follow 20-20-20 rule: After every 20 minutes of screen time, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Include green leafy vegetables, ghee, fresh fruits, nuts (especially soaked almonds and walnuts) in your diet.
Ensure 7–8 hours of deep sleep—eye tissues rejuvenate during sleep.
Practice meditation or pranayama to calm the nervous system and reduce oxidative stress on the eyes.
You’re young, and your body has a lot of healing capacity. If you follow a consistent Ayurvedic and holistic routine, your eye health can improve. The goal is not just to “fix” your vision but to support your whole system—mind, body, and soul.
You don’t have to fight this battle alone. If you’re open, I’d be happy to work with you on a step-by-step healing plan tailored to your unique constitution (Prakriti), your current imbalances (Vikriti), and your lifestyle.
Your eyes are not just for seeing the world—they reflect how your inner world is functioning. Let’s nurture them with love, discipline, and ancient wisdom.
Wishing you clear vision, not just physically, but in life too.
With love and guidance,
Dr. M. Sushma

I think you may have a solution for ur concern
Thank you
Happy and healthy life
