EYE DISEASES
Eyes being one of the most important organs in Ayurveda, all five elements play a role in maintaining eye health. Earth (prithivi) governs the muscular part of the eye, fire (tejas) rules the blood vessels, air (vayu) governs the color, water (apu) dominates the white area, and space (akasha) controls the tear ducts and channels.According to ayurvedic studies, eye problems are caused by upsetting of one of the three doshas namely an imbalance in vata, pitta or kapha doshas.
Improper Eye care can result in the following:
• Impaired vision (need of glasses)
• Cataracts
• Damaged Retinas
• Blindness
CAUSES
Vata disorders in the eye tend to lead to dryness, poor vision and eyestrain.
Pitta imbalances cause burning, inflammation, yellow pus, and redness.
Kapha upsetting causes clouded vision, glaucoma, cataracts, thick pus and watery eyes.
TREATMENT
Ayurvedic eye treatment varies for each problem. Few eye strengthening and purifying treatments are use of triphala eyewash, eye bright infusion and netra vasti. Cooling herbs such as roses, sandalwood, coriander leaves, and Indian eyeliner (kajal) also improve vision. A drop of pure castor oil in the eyes is also healing for vata and pitta eye diseases. As shatavari is high in vitamin A and gooseberry in vitamin C these strengthen the eyes connective tissue integrity. As per Ayurveda it is vital to protect the eyes from chemicals, overstrain, sunlight and internal toxins. Heat too increases degeneration of the eyes connective tissue so one should avoid hot hair dryers, hot water on the face, alcohol based cosmetics around the eyes. Yogic eye exercises are indeed helpful to maintain clarity of vision. Above all a diet, rich in antioxidants such as fresh fruit and vegetables will result in strong eyes.

Eye diseases- Yoga management
There is a deep correlation between the eyes and the mind. Eyesight is greatly improved when the muscles of the eyes are relaxed. It is said that vision occupies 40 percent of the brain’s capacity, therefore when we close our eyes; relaxation is induced in the brain. Eye health corresponds to the level of relaxation it experiences in which yoga plays a significant role. A yoga routine replete with asanas, pranayama and meditation helps in achieving peace and tranquility.
Yogic Eye Exercises
1. Sit in the Sukhasana (easy pose) with legs crossed and your spine, neck and head in a straight line. Look directly to the front at eye-level and breathe normally. Move your eyes upward and downwards stay for two seconds. Close your eyes for two seconds. Look to the right, left and front for two seconds. Close your eyes for 6-8 seconds. This completes one round. Start with 2-3 rounds and increase up to four rounds.
2. Rub both palms together. Close the eyes and gently place the left palm over the left eye and the right palm over the right eye. Do not press the eyeballs. Breathe in and out slowly to release stress. Repeat 2-3 times.
