I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's high myopia (minus 8 and minus 9). In Ayurveda, eye health is governed by Alochaka Pitta, and when there is an imbalance, it can affect vision. For high myopia, the aim is to strengthen the eye muscles, improve circulation, and pacify the Pitta dosha. Herbs like Triphala can be very beneficial. You can give her Triphala ghrita (medicated ghee) internally, which is traditionally used for improving eyesight. Maha Triphala Ghrita can be used as eye drops under an Ayurvedic doctor's supervision. Another option is Saptamrita Lauha, an Ayurvedic formulation that helps with vision-related issues. Ayurvedic eye exercises and eye wash with Triphala water can also help improve her eyesight over time. Diet plays an important role too. Include foods rich in Vitamin A, such as carrots, leafy greens, and Amla (Indian gooseberry). Regular consumption of ghee and almonds helps nourish the body and eyes. Could you please provide more details, such as: When was her myopia diagnosed, and how quickly did it progress? Is there a family history of high myopia? Has she undergone any treatments or taken supplements? What is her current diet, lifestyle, and screen time exposure? This will help me give more specific advice and determine if further treatments like Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapies or lifestyle adjustments are needed.

Fresh Fruit: A small bowl of papaya, mango, or blueberries for antioxidants and vitamins. Warm Milk: 1 glass of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric and cardamom. 2. Mid-Morning Snack: Carrot Sticks: Raw carrot sticks or slices with a dash of salt or hummus for dipping. Nuts: A small handful of soaked almonds or walnuts for healthy fats and vitamin E. 3. Lunch: Khichdi: A mix of rice and split moong dal with added vegetables like spinach, carrots, and peas. Season with cumin and turmeric. Raita: A side of cucumber raita (yogurt with grated cucumber) for probiotics and hydration. 4. Afternoon Snack: Smoothie: A smoothie made with banana, spinach, and almond milk, which is rich in nutrients for eye health. Roasted Chickpeas: A small bowl of roasted chickpeas for protein. 5.

Before Bed: Warm Milk: 1 glass of warm milk with a pinch of saffron for flavor and additional health benefits. General Dietary Tips: Hydration: Ensure the child drinks plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid Processed Foods: Limit sugary snacks, fast foods, and artificial colorings.
