Namaste Arpal ji,
Your efforts to improve your eyesight with exercises and dietary changes are commendable. Myopia (short-sightedness) is caused by structural elongation of the eyeball and aggravated by Vata and Pitta dosha imbalance in Ayurveda. While completely reversing myopia may not always be achievable, its progression can be significantly slowed, and eye health improved with consistent natural remedies and lifestyle changes.
Ayurvedic Understanding of Myopia
Doṣha Involvement: Myopia is linked to Alochaka Pitta (responsible for vision) and Vata dosha. Excess strain on the eyes, improper diet, and lifestyle lead to weakened vision.
Goal: Strengthen the eye muscles, nourish the optic nerves, and improve overall health of the eye tissues.
Chikitsa (Treatment Plan)
1. Herbal Remedies
Triphala Ghrita:
1/4 tsp with warm milk at bedtime to nourish and strengthen eye tissues.
Alternatively, use Triphala water eyewash (boil Triphala in water, cool, and strain).
Amalaki Rasayana:
1 tsp with honey in the morning to rejuvenate vision and prevent further deterioration.
Yashtimadhu Churna (Licorice Powder):
1/2 tsp with warm milk daily to enhance nerve health and soothe eyes.
2. External Therapies
Netra Tarpana:
A Panchakarma therapy where ghee is retained around the eyes. Consult an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner for this.
Eye Drops:
Use Ayurvedic Anjanam or Itone Eye Drops to relieve strain and cleanse the eyes naturally.
3. Dietary Guidelines
Do’s:
Include foods rich in Vitamin A (like carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes).
Drink Amla juice daily—it is rich in antioxidants and beneficial for eye health.
Eat soaked almonds, walnuts, and seeds like flaxseed to improve nerve health.
Don’ts:
Avoid excessive screen time, fried foods, and refined sugar that aggravate Pitta and weaken vision.
Limit caffeine and processed foods.
4. Eye Exercises
Trataka (Candle Gazing):
Focus on a flame or fixed point for 5-10 minutes daily to improve concentration and eye muscle strength.
Palming:
Rub your palms and place them gently over closed eyes for relaxation.
Eye Rolling:
Slowly roll your eyes in circular, vertical, and diagonal motions to relieve strain.
5. Lifestyle Tips
Avoid excessive screen exposure. Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes during screen time.
Practice Nadi Shodhana Pranayama to balance Vata and calm the nervous system.
Ensure 7-8 hours of restful sleep to reduce strain on the eyes.
Is it Possible to Reverse Myopia?
Myopia reversal is challenging, but maintaining vision stability and strengthening eye health is achievable with these measures. Significant improvement may take 3-6 months of consistent effort.
Results vary based on age, lifestyle, and compliance with treatment.

Myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism can be managed but not entirely reversed. Ayurvedic approaches focus on improving overall eye health and slowing the progression of these conditions. Consuming nutrient-rich foods like carrots, beetroot, and amla is beneficial, as they are high in vitamins and antioxidants that support eye health. Additionally, Triphala can be used as an eye wash to reduce strain and cleanse the eyes, while ghee can be applied around the eyes to nourish them. Regular eye exercises, such as palming and focus shifts, along with the Trataka technique (concentration on a flame), can strengthen eye muscles and reduce strain. A diet rich in Vitamin A, lutein, and Omega-3 fatty acids supports vision health, while reducing screen time and maintaining proper lighting can prevent further strain. Though these methods may not fully reverse myopia or astigmatism, they can help improve eye health and prevent further deterioration. Regular eye check-ups are important to monitor your condition.

Hey, dealing with myopia is quite common, but I know it can be frustrating when eyesight seems to be getting worse. While reversing myopia completely is not simple, with Ayurveda, you can certainly improve and manage it better. First, let's focus on your lifestyle—something we often overlook. Spending too much time on screens? Try adopting the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This can really reduce eye strain over time.
Now about your diet. Carrot, amla, and beetroot juice are great, but variety is key, you know? Incorporate more green leafy veggies like spinach and kale—rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, they’re amazing for eyes. Ghee—clarified butter in moderate amounts can be really beneficial too. You could try a teaspoon of ghee mixed with warm milk right before bed. It's nurturing for your ojas, which translates to vitality in simple terms.
Let's talk about eye exercises, you probably want to do Trataka, a yogic eye exercise. Focus on the flame of a candle, without blinking, then close your eyes, visualizing the flame at your third-eye chakra. Do this at least thrice a week. It's believed to strengthen eye muscles and improve focus. But don’t overdo it, let your eyes rest.
And your doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—play their roles here. Imbalance, especially in Pitta, can lead to issues like eye strain and discomfort. Herbal remedies like Triphala can help balance things out; a teaspoon with warm water at night supports digestion and helps detox, good for eye health too.
A daily routine (dinacharya), like proper sleep, balanced meals, and reduced stress, goes a long way in maintaining good eye health. Avoid harsh light, and don’t stress your eyes with very small fonts or dim screens.
Due to the nature of myopia, complete reversal isn't usually fully possible, but with these changes, you’ll likely notice stabilization and improvement. If things seem severe or worsen suddenly, see an eye care professional—sometimes immediate intervention's key.
