Presbyopia

Presbyopia is the gradual loss of the eye's ability to focus on nearby objects. It typically becomes noticeable around the age of 40 and progresses with age. This happens because the lens of the eye loses flexibility, making it harder to adjust focus from far to near.

In Ayurveda, presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) is linked to the gradual weakening of the eye tissues due to aging. This condition is associated with an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs aging and degeneration in the body.

Ayurvedic Understanding of Presbyopia

  • Vata imbalance leads to dryness, reduced elasticity, and weakness in the eye lens and surrounding muscles.
  • Pitta imbalance may cause excessive strain and inflammation, worsening vision problems.
  • Kapha imbalance can lead to blockages in eye circulation, reducing nourishment to ocular tissues.

Symptoms of Presbyopia:

  • Difficulty reading small print (especially in dim light)
  • Holding reading material at arm’s length to see clearly
  • Eye strain or headaches after reading or doing close-up work
  • Blurred vision at normal reading distance

Causes:

  • Aging: The natural hardening of the eye’s lens over time
  • Loss of elasticity: The lens and surrounding muscles lose their ability to adjust focus

Treatment Options:

  1. Reading Glasses: Over-the-counter or prescription lenses help magnify close-up objects.
  2. Bifocal, Trifocal, or Progressive Glasses: These lenses have different zones for near, intermediate, and distance vision.
  3. Contact Lenses: Options include multifocal or monovision (one eye corrected for distance, the other for near vision).

Prevention & Management:

  • Use good lighting when reading or doing close work.
  • Take frequent breaks when using digital screens.
  • Maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins (A, C, and E) for eye health.
  • Have regular eye check-ups to monitor vision changes.

  Eye Exercises (Trataka & Yoga)

  • Trataka (Candle Gazing) – Helps strengthen eye muscles and improve focus.
  • Palming – Rubbing hands and placing them over the eyes to relax muscles.
  • Blinking & Eye Rotations – Enhance flexibility of eye muscles.

   Diet & Lifestyle Adjustments

  • Include: Carrots, leafy greens, almonds, cow’s ghee, sesame seeds, and cooling foods.
  • Avoid: Excessive caffeine, spicy foods, stress, and prolonged screen exposure.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water and herbal teas like Brahmi or Triphala tea.
