HELLO JIGAR,
In Ayurveda, myopia(nearsightedness) is categorised under "DIRSHTI DOSHA" or TIMIRA, primarily caused by an imbalance in pitta and vata doshas affecting the eyes. poor lifestyle, excessive screen use, junk food, and lack of eye care can aggravate this.
AYURVEDIC HOME REEMEDIES FOR MANAGING MYOPIA
1) DIET- focus on pitta pacifying and eye nourishing foods
eat more
-amla-daily fresh, juice or CHYAWANPRASHA- 1 tsp in morning
-carrots, beets, spinach, kale(rich in vitamin A and lutein)
-almonds soaked overnight(3-5/day)
- cow's ghee(1 tsp daily)-improves Ojas and eye strength
-triphala churna
- green moong dal, rice, gourds
AVOID
-excess fried/spicy/oily foods
-cold drinks, preserved food, and white sugar
-long fasting or irregular eating
2) TRIPHALA FOR EYE HEALTH
*INTERNAL USE
-triphala churna= 1 tsp with warm water before bedtime
*EXTERNAL WASH
-soak 1 tsp triphala powder in a glass of water overnight
-in morning, strain with a fine cloth
- use this water to wash your eyes or use in an eye cup for bathing the eyes
DO no use unfiltered water directly in eyes- must be well filtered
3) NETRA TARPANA(eye rejuvination therapy)
-a dough ring is placed around the eye socket, and lukewarm medicated mahatrihpala ghrita is poured in and the eyes are opened and blinked in it for 10-15 mins
- helps nourish the optic nerves and reduce eye fatigue
4) EYE EXERCISES
do these every day, ideally in the morning
-PALMING= rub hands and cup over closed eyes (relaxes optic nerve)
-TRATAKA= concentrate on a small flame or dot without blinking until tears form, then close eyes. Helps strengthen focus
-EYE ROTATIONS= move eyes in circular, horizontal, vertical and diagonal motions
-NEAR-FAR SHIFTING= focus on your thumb at 1 ft, then shift gaze to a distant object ( 20 ft away) repeat 10 times.
5) SUN GAZING(surya trataka)- early morning
-at sunrise only, gently gaze at the sun for a few seconds(5-10 sec), gradually increasing up to 1-2 min
- this should never be done after 7 am
- it helps improve retinal strength and activates natural eye functions
6) AYURVEDIC EYE DROPS(Netra Bindu)
-isotine eye drops(Dr. Basu)= 1 drop in each eye twice daily
-Ayur netra Jyoti - this will strengthen the eye-1 drop in each eye daily twice
7) SLEEP AND SCREEN HABITS
-get 7-8 hours of sleep daily
- take breaks from screen every 20 minutes (20-20-20 rule:- look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes)
-avoid using phone in dark
- sit at least 18-24 inches away from screens
SUGGESTED DAILY ROUTINE FOR EYE HEALTH
MORNING= wake up early, freshen up, do eye wash with triphala water
-10 min yoga for eyes + 10 mins sun gazing
-almonds+amla juice
MID-DAY= balanced sattvic lunch with green veggies and ghee
EVENING= eye drops+ light exercise or walk
NIGHT= early dinner, triphala with warm water , sleep by 10 pm
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) SAPTAMRIT LAUH= 1 tab thrice daily with warm water
=good for myopia and weak eyesight
2) MAHATRIPHALA GHRITA= 1tsp with warm milk in morning
=eye nourishment best one
3) DRISHTI EYE DROPS= 2 drops daily twice
IMPORTANT
-myopia may not reverse completely, but vision may stabilise or slightly improve
-be consistent- it takes 2-3 months to see effects
-monitor your eye sight every 6 months
- if you feel strain, don't force exercises-rest is equally important
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Myopia, or nearsightedness, can be a concern, and while it's often managed with corrective lenses, there are natural methods in Ayurveda that can help support eye health. To address my myopia naturally, prioritizing holistic health is key, encompassing your diet, lifestyle, and daily routines.
First, consider your diet. Include foods rich in Vitamin A, like carrots, sweet potatoes, and leafy green vegetables. They provide beta-carotene, which is essential for maintaining healthy eyesight. Ghee, especially Triphala Ghrita, can be beneficial when consumed. One teaspoon a day taken early morning, ideally with warm water, can nourish the dhatus and support eye health.
Triphala (an Ayurvedic blend of three fruits: haritaki, bibhitaki, and amla) is a reputed Ayurvedic preparation. You can make Triphala eyewash by soaking a teaspoon of Triphala powder overnight in a glass of water, straining it in the morning and gently washing your eyes with the liquid. This helps cleanse and refresh the eyes. But be sure to strain very well to avoid particles.
Include eye exercises in your routine. Palming is a popular technique: rub your palms together to generate heat and place them gently over your closed eyes, creating darkness. This restive warmth can relax your eye muscles. Practice this for 2-3 minutes a few times a day.
Daily routine also plays a crucial role. Ensure sufficient sleep as it helps rejuvenate the eyes. Follow the 20-20-20 rule - every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This relieves eyestrain from prolonged screen use.
Limit screen exposure and use computer eyewear to shield from blue light. Spend time in natural light, avoiding harsh indoor lighting whenever possible.
Lastly, understanding your dosha can offer insight. Pitta imbalance often manifests as eye discomfort. Incorporate cooling practices and resources like cucumber slices on eyes, or rose water drops (after confirming non-reactivity) to manage Pitta and support eye health.
Remember, while these recommendations can boost eye wellness, they do not replace professional medical advice for correcting myopia. Regular check-ups with a qualified eye care specialist are vital to assess and correct vision more fully.

HELLO JIGAR,
Myopia(nearsightedness) of -1.75 means your eyes can see near objects clearly but distant objects appear blurry, At age 16, your eyes are still developing,so it's a good time to manage the progression naturally . However , completely reversing myopia without glasses , contacts or surgery is not scientifically proven. Still, Ayurveda and lifestyle practices can help prevent worsening and may slightly improve eye function.

-take 1 tsp ghrita with warm milk at night
=nourishes optic nerves and cleanses eye channels
3) TRIPHALA EYE WASH
-soak 1 tsp triphala powder in a glass of water overnight
-strain and use it to wash your eyes in morning
=reduces eye strain and refreshes the eye
HOME REMEDIES
1) AMLA
-take 2 tsp amla juice daily with honey and water
=rich in vitamin c and antioxidants great for eye health
2) ALMONDS, FENNEL AND MISHRI MIX
-grind equal parts of almonds, fennel seeds and rock sugar
-take 1 tsp daily with warm milk at bedtime
3) DESI COW GHEE
-eat 1 tsp ghee daily or apply instill 2-3 drops in each nostril daily morning empty stomach
-strengtens ojas and nourishes eyes

-soaked almonds, walnuts
-ghee, turmeric, curry leaves
HYDRATION= 10 -12 glasses of water daily

Thank you for the details, Jigar Singh. Since you are 16 years old with myopia (-1.75) and no chronic illness, you still have a good chance to slow down or possibly improve your eyesight naturally with Ayurvedic and lifestyle approaches, especially since your body is still developing.
Follow the below mentioned as your daily routine:
Daily Eye Care Routine:
1. Eye Wash for 7 days
Wash eyes daily with Triphala decoction (lukewarm).
How to make: Boil 1 tsp Triphala powder in 200 ml water, cool, strain with cotton cloth, and use as eyewash.
2. Eye Exercises (Trataka Kriya) – 10 minutes daily
Focus on a candle flame in a dark room or dot on wall at eye level without blinking until tears come. It improves focus, muscle tone and eye clarity.
3. Palming Exercise
Rub palms and gently cup over closed eyes for 2 mins, 3-4 times/day.
4. Blinking & Focus Shift Exercise
Blink rapidly for 20 seconds, then focus far and near objects alternatively. Repeat 5-10 times daily.
Diet & Lifestyle Tips:
1. Eat Eye-Boosting Foods:
Amla (gooseberry), carrots, spinach, beetroot, almonds, walnuts, black grapes, soaked raisins.
Add ghee (cow's ghee) – 1 tsp daily improves eye strength.
2. Limit Screen Time:
Follow 20-20-20 rule – every 20 mins, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
3. Sun Gazing (Surya Trataka) in early morning (5-7 am):
Just for few seconds, look at the rising sun with eyes slightly closed. Avoid after 7 AM.
If possible take this internal medicines as it help you a lot from your difficulties.
1. Triphala Ghrita – ¼ tsp with warm milk at bedtime.
2. Saptamritha Lauha – 1 tablet twice a day after food with warm water
3. Drakshadi Kashayam – 10 ml with 30ml of warm water twice daily before food
And this therapy will help you to improve your vision.
Netra Tarpana (Eye Rejuvenation Therapy):
This is a Panchakarma therapy where medicated ghee is retained in a boundary around the eyes for 15-30 mins. Great for strengthening eyes.
May your recovery be quick and your health fully restored.
Please don't hesitate to reach out for further guidance.
With kind regards,
Dr. Sumi

hello Jigar singh,
So you have a mild myopia, around -1.75, and you're just 16, which is a good thing because your eyes are still quite responsive to care and treatment. In Ayurveda, we look at myopia (called Drishti Mandya or Timira) as something that happens when Alochaka Pitta (the fire element responsible for vision) gets disturbed either due to strain, poor diet, too much screen time, or even dry eyes. When this pitta gets imbalanced, it doesn't nourish the eye properly and vision starts to blur, especially for distant things.
Ayurveda doesn’t just give you glasses and walk away. We actually have procedures like Kriya Kalpa, which means healing therapies done directly to the eyes. These can genuinely strengthen your eye muscles, nourish the optic nerves, and gradually reduce your power.
ABOUT PROCEDURE LET ME EXPLAIN YOU CLEARLY:
We start by gently cleansing the eyes (Aschyotana), then soothing and nourishing them (Seka), followed by a deeper healing therapy (Tarpana) which feels like a warm ghee pool on your eyes super relaxing and powerful. Eventually, we even do Nasya (putting medicine in the nose) which clears the channels connected to the head and improves eye function. Along with that, we’ll do some special eye yoga and diet tips.You’ll also have to reduce screen time, blink more often, and do some simple gharelu nuskhas like applying Triphala-infused water on your eyes, or washing eyes with rose water occasionally but always in a guided way.
So yes, we can work on reducing your number, and in many cases, we’ve seen that powers like yours improve a lot with this approach.
1–2 Months Treatment Plan:
1. External Therapies (Kriya Kalpa - in Shalakya OPD):
Week 1:
Ashchyotana (eye drops): Vimala Varti Swarasa – morning and evening
Seka: Triphala Kwatha daily once (lukewarm wash over closed eyes for 5–10 mins)
Week 2:
Tarpana: Jeevantyadi Ghrita Tarpana for 7 days (OPD procedure under supervision)
Week 3:
Nasya: Anu Taila – 2 drops in each nostril in the morning (after hot water face steam)
Follow with light Abhyanga around forehead and eyes using Bala Ashwagandha tailam
Light Swedana (steam) to face with dashamoola decoction
2. Internal Medications:
Jeevantyadi Ghrita – 15 ml with warm water, early morning empty stomach
Saptamrita Lauha – 2 tablets twice daily after meals with honey
3. Eye Exercises (Daily):
Palming (rub palms and cover eyes) – 2 mins x 3 times
Eye rotation: Up–down, side–side, diagonal – 10 rounds each
Focus shifting: Finger near–far focus for 5 mins
Sun gazing (early morning sunlight with closed eyes) – 2 mins
Blink consciously every 10–15 seconds when on screen
4. Gharelu Nuskha:
Soak 1 tsp Triphala in a glass of water overnight, strain in morning and use it to wash your eyes
Use pure rose water (2–3 drops in eyes) at bedtime, 2–3 times a week
Include Amla, ghee, and green leafy vegetables in diet
Visual acuity charting monthly
Slit lamp exam (if dryness or strain is persistent)
If you follow this sincerely and have access to a good Ayurvedic OPD where kriya kalpa is done, we can expect some reduction in your power or at least prevent it from increasing further. Your young age is a big advantage here.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care,
Regards,
Dr.Karthika
