How to reduce eye redness and drying - #24675

Shah Hanan

"On the days I go to college, my eyes become red and a little dry after half the day. I also have to walk a lot in the strong sunlight, and in vehicles, the wind from the window hits my eyes strongly, which also makes them dry. But on the days I stay at home in my room, my eyes remain normal. Is this a problem? And is there any remedy or solution for it?"

Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Hello, 1. Avoid exposure to dust by wearing protective glasses. 2. Wear glasses while using electronic gadgets. 3. Start doing eye exercises regularly. 4. Wash eyes with triphala decoction(room temperature and the tripahala particles are completly removed by straining) in the morning and before going to bed. 5. Itone eyedrops 2 drops in each eyes 4-5 times a day. Take care. Kind regards.

Redness and dryness of the eyes during travel is usually caused by exposure to sun, dust, or wind and is generally not serious unless accompanied by blurred vision, pain, or difficulty seeing—in such cases, an eye check-up is necessary. To prevent discomfort, always wear full-coverage sunglasses while traveling and avoid direct exposure to air conditioners or strong wind on your face. After reaching your destination, sit quietly with your eyes closed for 5–10 minutes instead of washing your face or eyes immediately, especially after sun exposure. Stay well-hydrated, minimize screen time during travel, and use preservative-free lubricating eye drops if needed. Ensure proper sleep, reduce eye strain, and if symptoms are frequent, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for Swastika Kriyakalpa procedures like Tarpana or Aschyotana for deeper ocular nourishment and healing.

Redness and dryness in the eyes, especially when exposed to environmental factors like sunlight and wind, is relatively common, though not ideal. In Ayurveda, this can be associated with an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which is linked with heat and irritability. Your symptoms seem related to external aggravation rather than an underlying serious condition, but they should still be addressed to avoid discomfort. First, consider wearing protective eyewear, like sunglasses or clear lenses that shield against UV rays and wind. This can considerably reduce the exposure of your eyes to harsh elements. Additionally, regularly applying cold water or rose water compresses can soothe the eyes—just soak a clean cloth in chilled water and gently place it over your eyes for a few minutes after coming indoors. From a dietary standpoint, include foods that help balance Pitta. Think of cooling and hydrating elements like cucumbers, melons, and coconut water. Avoid excessively spicy and fried foods which can worsen your symptoms. Drinking Triphala-infused water (taking Triphala powder the night before and soaking it in water, straining it in the morning)// could also be beneficial. In terms of eyecare, try using Kajal or Anjana made from natural ingredients, which is believed in Ayurveda to protect and nourish the eyes. Ensure it's from a reputable source to avoid irritation. Regularly performing eye exercises—simply rolling your eyes in various directions—can help maintain eye health and flexibility. Mindfully reducing screen time when not necessary and ensuring your workspace and home are adequately lit can also alleviate eye strain. Make sure to get sound sleep as well, as it provides the natural lubrication and rest your eyes need to recover. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's prudent to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying concerns that may require different treatment.
