Ranganath ji, as per Ayurveda, vision problems often arise due to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which affects the eyes. To improve eyesight naturally, it's important to focus on both internal nourishment and external care for the eyes. Here are some Ayurvedic recommendations:
Diet: Consume foods that are rich in Vitamin A, like carrots, spinach, and amla. Amla is particularly beneficial for improving vision. Include ghee in your diet as it nourishes the eyes and strengthens the tissues.
Herbs: Triphala is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation that can help improve vision. It can be taken internally (1/2 to 1 tsp mixed with warm water at night) and used as an eye wash (using the powder diluted in water). Also, Saffron can be beneficial for strengthening the eyes.
Eye Exercises: Regularly practice simple eye exercises, like focusing on distant objects, rolling the eyes, or palming the eyes to reduce eye strain.
Oil Application: Use Kumkumadi oil or Anu taila for gently massaging the area around the eyes at bedtime. This will help improve circulation and reduce eye fatigue.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Avoid excessive screen time, and make sure to take breaks if you have to use electronic devices for long periods. Follow the Trataka (a meditation technique involving gazing at a fixed point, such as a candle flame) to strengthen the eye muscles.
Panchakarma: For long-term benefits, Nasya therapy (nasal administration of medicated oils) can be helpful in balancing Pitta and improving vision.
Regular Rest: Ensure you get adequate sleep and rest, as stress and fatigue can worsen eye health.
As you are already using glasses, it’s important to consult an Ayurvedic doctor for a personalized treatment plan to address your specific condition. Follow these practices consistently, and with patience, you should start noticing improvement in your vision over time.

To improve eyesight and prevent further deterioration, Ayurveda suggests a holistic approach involving lifestyle changes, eye exercises, and natural remedies. Here are some effective methods:
Dietary Changes: Include foods rich in antioxidants and vitamin A, like carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, amla, and tomatoes. These support eye health by improving vision and protecting the eyes from oxidative stress.
Herbal Remedies: Triphala is a well-known Ayurvedic remedy that can help improve overall eye health. It can be taken internally, or you can use Triphala as an eye wash to reduce strain. Amla (Indian gooseberry) is also beneficial for strengthening vision.
Eye Exercises: Practice eye exercises daily, such as:
Palming: Rub your palms together to generate heat and then place them over your closed eyes for 10–15 seconds. This relaxes the eyes and improves blood circulation.
Blinking: Blink rapidly for 10–15 seconds to refresh and moisten your eyes.
Focus Shifting: Hold a pen or finger in front of you and focus on it, then look at an object in the distance. Alternate between focusing on both objects several times.
Reduce Eye Strain: Limit screen time and ensure proper lighting when reading or using digital devices. Practice the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Regular Sleep: Ensure adequate sleep as it is essential for eye health and reducing eye fatigue.
Ayurvedic Eye Care: Use rosewater or sandalwood for soothing eye irritations. Applying cool cucumber slices or cold tea bags on the eyes can help reduce puffiness and refresh tired eyes.
Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner may also help in customizing an approach that best suits your dosha imbalance and specific vision concerns.

I get it, having blurry vision can be such a hassle, especially while driving. Don’t worry, Ayurveda has got some time-tested ways to help improve eyesight without getting into surgery. It's all about balance—your doshas, mainy Pitta, play a big role here. You woul'd probably want to focus on cooling down excess heat in your body that may be affecting your eyes.
Start with avoiding food that make Pitta dosha worse. This means cutting down on spicy, sour, and overly salty foods. Instead, focus on sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Include foods like green leafy vegetables, cucumbers, and amla in your diet. Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is magical for eye health. You can have it fresh or in powder form - take about a teaspoon mixed with a glass of water every morning on an empty stomach.
Now, some eye exercises can be great for improving eye strength. Try palming - rub your palms together to generate a bit of heat and gently cup them over your closed eyes for a couple of minutes. It’s soothing and gives your eyes a break. Another exercise is focusing on an object in the distance, then shifting your gaze to something close by without moving your head.
Also, use Triphala water to wash your eyes. Just soak a teaspoon of Triphala powder in a cup of water overnight, strain it in the morning, and rinsing your eyes with this water can be very refreshing. But make sure the water is very clean and pasteurized.
Your daily routine is vital too. Make sure you're getting a good night's sleep - atleast 7 to 8 hours.. It rejuvenates your eyes better than any supplement. Keep your screen time in check as well; continuous screen exposure can strain your eyes. If applicable, try the rule of 20-20-20: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
Finally, if things don’t improve, and it's interfering with something crucial like driving, you should definitely consider reaching out to an eye care professional. Sometimes immediate care is necessary to prevent further issues. Be safe, okay?
