To address high myopia and related symptoms like eye pain, redness, and burning, reduce screen time and implement eye-friendly habits. Ayurveda emphasizes balancing doshas, especially Pitta and Vata, which can affect eye health. Here’s a tailored approach for you:
1. Dietary Adjustments: Favor cooling foods that pacify Pitta. Include ghee, milk, almonds, leafy greens, and blueberries. Omega-3-rich foods, like flaxseeds or fish oil, support eye health. Reduce spicy, fried, and processed foods that irritate Pitta dosha.
2. Eye Exercises: Practice eye exercises daily to strengthen and relax the eye muscles. Palming, focusing between near and far objects, and sideways viewing exercises can be beneficial. Aim for at least 10 minutes twice a day.
3. Screen Time: Implement the 20-20-20 rule to minimize strain — every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. Adjust screen settings for lower brightness and increase text size.
4. Herbs and Supplements: Consider Triphala, an Ayurvedic herbal remedy, for eye care. You can make a Triphala eyewash: steep 1 tsp of Triphala powder in warm water overnight, strain, and use as an eyewash in the morning. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized supplements and doses.
5. Lifestyle and Routine: Establish a consistent daily routine (dinacharya) to reduce overall stress and support your body’s natural balance. Regular sleep, moderate exercise, and relaxation techniques like pranayama (breathing exercises) can help manage stress levels.
6. Ayurvedic Therapies: You might consider therapies like Netra Tarpana, where warm ghee is held over the eyes to rejuvenate them. Consult with a trained ayurvedic therapist to see if this suits your condition.
If these symptoms persist or worsen, prioritize consulting an ophthalmologist. Retinal thinning requires careful monitoring to prevent complications. Combine modern medical advice with Ayurvedic practices for optimal outcomes.
HELLO HIMANSHU,
I hear your concern. You’re 22, with high myopia, retinal thinning, long screen time history, and symptoms like eye pain, redness, burning, and weakness.
RETINAL THINNING + HIGH MYPOIA are serious. These conditions can sometimes progress to retinal detachment, which requires urgent opthalmology supervision. Ayurveda can support eye health, but it cannot reverse myopia or retinal thinning completely. You should stay in touch with an eye specialist regularly .
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING -Your symptoms reflect Netra rogas (eye disorders )linked to pitta vitiation (burning, redness), Vata imbalance (weakness, strain) and Rakta dushti (eye pain, inflammation) -Excess screen time aggravates Alochaka pitta (fire element responsible for vision)
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
1) DIET -Favour cooling, pitta pacifying foods= ghee, milk , cucumber, coriander, pumpkin, grapes, amla. -Use triphala regularly (rich in antioxidants) -Avoid= fried, spicy, very sour, excess tea/coffee, junk food
2) LIFESTYLE -20-20-20 rule for screen use : every 20 minutes look 20 feet away for 20 seconds -Blink consciously, avoid long continuous screen exposure -Adequate sleep = 7-8 hrs -Protect eyes from direct sunlight, dust, late night screen use
3) YOGA AND EXERCISE -Trakata (steady gazing at a candle flame or dot, followed by eye closing and relaxation) -Palming (rubbing palms, gently cupping over eyes) -Gentle eye rotation = up-down, left-right, diagonal -Pranayam= Sheetali, Sheetkari, Anulom-vilom
4) HERBAL AND RASAYANA SUPPORT
- TRIPHALA GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night if digestion is good
-SAPTAMRITA LAUHA= 2 tabs with ghee in morning =for myopia
-AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp in morning
-Multehi 1/2 tsp + honey= strengthens eyes
-YASHTIMADHU GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for pitta related eye strain
5) LOCAL AYURVEDIC THERAPIES
-NETRA TARPANA= retention of medicated ghee/oil around the eyes to nourish optic nerves -ANJANA with herbal preparations like Sauviranjana -NASYA= medicated nasal drops (e.g Anu taila) to strengthen sense organs
THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
High myopia and retinal thinning can indeed be challenging conditions and require careful attention. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, maintaining eye health is deeply connected to balancing doshas—particularly Pitta, which, when aggravated, can contribute to inflammation or degeneration that affects the eyes.
First, reduce screen time as much as possible. Prolonged exposure to screens intensifies Pitta and can lead to eye strain. Implementing the 20-20-20 rule can help: Every 20 minutes of screen use, take a break for at least 20 seconds by looking at something at least 20 feet away.
Hydrating and nourishing your eyes with Triphala eyewash is quite beneficial. Triphala consists of three fruits and is revered for its balancing qualities. To prepare an eyewash, steep one teaspoon of Triphala powder in a cup of water overnight, strain carefully so there’s no residue, and use the liquid to rinse your eyes gently. Do this once a day in the mornings.
Ahara (diet) also plays a vital role. Consume cooling foods like cucumber and watermelon to pacify the Pitta dosha. Add ghee (clarified butter) into your diet; it’s known to support vision. Limit spicy and sour foods, which can aggravate Pitta.
Additionally, eye exercises can strengthen the muscles and should be included regularly. Practice palming by rubbing your hands together to create warmth and then place them gently over your closed eyes. Also, focusing exercises like shifting your gaze from near to far can help strengthen your eye muscles.
If any symptoms like eye pain or redness persist, consult an ophthalmologist to eliminate other underlying issues, as these conditions necessitate immediate attention to rule out complications. It’s crucial in managing this ongoing concern while integrating Ayurvedic practices into your routine.
