Is There an Ayurvedic Cure for Amblyopia in Adults? - #2243

Jake London

I’ve had amblyopia (“lazy eye”) in my left eye since childhood, and now that I’m 28, it’s starting to bother me more. My vision in that eye is blurry, and I mostly rely on my right eye for everything, which sometimes feels strained. Doctors told me it’s too late to fix it completely, but I’m wondering if Ayurveda has a different perspective. I read that treatments like Netra Tarpana or specific herbal drops might help strengthen the weaker eye or improve overall vision. Some people also mention using herbs like Triphala internally for better eye health. I’m willing to try these, but I need to know if they can work for amblyopia specifically or if they’re only helpful for general eye issues. Do you recommend any Ayurvedic therapies or medicines for improving amblyopia in adults? Is it possible to regain some vision in the lazy eye with these treatments, or is the condition irreversible after a certain age?

In Ayurveda, amblyopia, or "lazy eye," is often seen as a condition linked to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Vata, which can affect vision and the nervous system. While Ayurveda does not claim to reverse the condition completely, certain therapies and herbs may help improve the overall health of the eyes and potentially enhance the function of the weaker eye. Treatments like Netra Tarpana, which involves the application of medicated ghee around the eyes, can nourish and strengthen the ocular tissues, improving vision and alleviating eye strain. Triphala, known for its antioxidant properties, is often used both internally and externally to promote eye health and improve circulation to the eyes. Additionally, herbal eye drops made from ingredients like rose, turmeric, or honey can support the eye’s natural healing process. While these treatments may help with improving overall eye health, it's important to have realistic expectations. Ayurveda can help strengthen the eye muscles and improve focus, but significant changes in vision may be limited, especially if amblyopia has persisted for many years. Regular eye exercises, such as focusing exercises and eye yoga, can also complement these treatments.
