HELLO VATSALA TRIPATHI,
EXOTROPIA( a type of strabismus)
-both eyes turn outward, especially when focusing on distant objects or under fatigue
-present since birth-> congenital exotropia
-associated symptoms - blurry vision when aligning eyes- may indicate suppresion or amblyopia (lazy eye)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
strabismus results from
-weakness/imbalance in extra ocular muscles
-poor neuromuscular coordination between eye muscles and brain
-disruption in binocular vision development
In congenital cases, the visual cortex adapts by suppressing input from one eye-> lazy eye(Amblyopia)
According to Ayurveda,
squit= Vikriti Drishti/ vakra drishti
caused bye vitiation of vata and pitta doshas affecting
-sira(nerves)
-snayu(muscles/ligaments)
-mamsa dhatu(muscle tissues)
DOSHA INVOLVEMENT
VATA= causes poor muscle control, nerve dysfunction
PITTA= causes inflammation, visual distortion
IMPORTANT= in congenital and severe/moderate squat, SURGERY IS NECCESARY for full cosmetic correction or binocular visual restoration,
AYURVEDA CAN
-improve functional eye strength
-enahnce post surgicall recovery if needed later
INTERNALLY CAN TAKE
1)TRIPHALA GHRITA- 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime
=rejuvinates optic nerves, improve eye strength
2)SAPTAMRIT LAUH- 1 tab twice daily with milk
=strengthen eye muscles, supports retina
3)KALYANAK GHRITA- 1 tsp with warm milk in morning
nerve nourishment in weak visual nerves
EYE EXERCISES
1) PENCIL PUSH-UPS= hold pencil at arms length, focus as you move it to nose, 10 reps
2)8 TRACING MOVEMENT= trace an imaginary figure 8 with your eyes, clockwise and anti clockwise
3)NERA FAR FOCUS= focus on a era object(30 cm), then distant(3 m), alternate 10 times
4)EYE ROTATIONS= clockwise and counter clock wise , full circular movement, 10 reps each or more
5)PALMING- run palms, place over closed eyes to relax, 2-3 minutes
DO THIS TWICE DAILY. BE CONSISTENT FOR 3-6 MONTHS
YOGA AND PRANAYAM
TRATAKA= focus on a candle flame to improve concentration and ocular muscle control
ANULOM VILOM= balacnes nervous system and brain nerve coordination
BHRAMARI= calm the mind, helps brain function
SHAVASANA= full body relaxation after yoga
DURATION= 15-20 min daily
DIET
-ghee, almonds, walnuts pumpkin seeds
-amla, carrot juice, spinach, beetroot
-buttermilk, whole grains, warm water
-triphala eyewash(daily morning)= soak triphala powder overnight in water, strain and wash eyes
AVOID
-excessive screen time or bright lights
-spicy, oily, fermented and junk foods
-irregular sleep and stress
-daytime sleeping and late night waking
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
REMEMBER NO MEDICINES WILL TREAT THIS DISEASE ONLY SURGERY CAN HELP
THANK YOU

In Ayurveda, squint (Vakra Drishti) is primarily due to vitiation of Prana Vata and Alochaka Pitta, disturbing the neuromuscular coordination of extraocular muscles. To address this, we adopt Vata-Pitta shamana and Brimhana line of treatment. Nasya and Murdhni taila therapies help pacify Prana Vata and strengthen cranial nerve functions. Netra Tarpana and Netra Dhara nourish the eye tissues, improving muscular tone and alignment. Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda provides localized Snigdha Swedana, enhancing blood flow and relieving neuromuscular rigidity. Internal Rasayana like Rasaraj Rasa, Suvarna Makshik, and Bala-Ashwagandha help regenerate nerve tissue and restore ocular motor control gradually.

While surgery is a common recommendation for correcting squint eyes, there are some Ayurvedic approaches that may support eye health and function. However, it's important to remember that Ayurveda often works best when used as a complement to conventional medical treatments, not as replacement.
Focus first on understanding your Prakriti, or body constitution, as this will guide the specific treatments that may be most effective. Generally, imbalances relating to Vata dosha can affect nervous system functions, including eye movements.
To begin, consider incorporating Ayurvedic eye exercises, or "Trataka," into your daily routine. These involve focusing on a single point, like a candle flame, to improve eye focus and strengthen eye muscles. Practice this for 5-10 minutes daily, but ensure eyes are not strained.
Diet is essential. Consume foods high in beta-carotene and vitamin A, such as carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes, support eye health. Ghee in small amounts can aid in nourishing eye tissues. Avoid foods that are excessively dry or cold, as these can aggravate Vata dosha.
For eyewashes, Triphala, an Ayurvedic herb mix, is known for its benefits. Boil it in water, let it cool, and then strain. Use daily as an eye wash after it cools down to body temperature. It is believed to have rejuvenating properties for the eyes.
Ensure you maintain a balanced lifestyle; stress and lack of sleep can exacerbate symptoms. Try to engage in regular meditation and yoga practices, focusing on poses that encourage balance and calmness.
Finally, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner might give tailored advice based on your constitution and current health status. If symptoms worsen, however, consulting an ophthalmologist is crucial. While Ayurveda offers supportive therapies, some cases require medical interventions, especially if there's a risk of vision loss. Prioritize safety when it comes to vision.
