Heredomacular degeneration - #2941

Anonymous

I’ve been recently diagnosed with heredomacular degeneration, and it’s been a really tough time for me. My eyesight has started to blur, especially when I’m reading or focusing on something small. The doctor said it’s a genetic condition, and there’s not much that modern medicine can do to reverse it. That’s when someone suggested trying Ayurveda. Does Ayurveda offer any treatments or remedies for heredomacular degeneration? I’ve read that some herbal formulations and therapies can slow the progression of eye problems and improve overall eye health. Is there any truth to that? If you’ve dealt with heredomacular degeneration or know someone who has, can you share your experience? Are there specific herbs, oils, or therapies that might help? I’ve come across mentions of Triphala for vision and other Ayurvedic medicines for eye disorders, but I’m not sure if they’re effective for genetic conditions like heredomacular degeneration. Also, are there lifestyle changes or exercises that Ayurveda recommends for better eye health? I’ve already started reducing screen time, but I’m not sure what else I can do. I’m hoping there’s some way to manage heredomacular degeneration naturally and prevent it from getting worse.

Doctors’ responses

Ayurveda offers several remedies that may help manage eye health, though it's important to note that there is no cure for heredomacular degeneration. Triphala is commonly recommended for improving vision and supporting eye health due to its antioxidant properties. Other herbs like Amalaki (Indian gooseberry), Saffron, and Bilberry are also used in Ayurveda for their potential to nourish the eyes and protect against degeneration. Additionally, Ayurveda emphasizes lifestyle changes such as reducing eye strain, practicing eye exercises (like palming and focusing techniques), and ensuring proper nutrition. Abhyanga (oil massage), especially with oils like Anu Taila or Kumkumadi oil, may help reduce eye stress. Reducing screen time, maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamins (especially Vitamin A, C, and E), and ensuring proper sleep can also support eye health. It's important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor a treatment plan for your specific condition.
