Eyes are critical for one's quality of life. They are the windows to the soul and yet most people do not pay much regard to their care. The eyes usually get attention when there is a problem and one seeks Ayurvedic treatment for eye problems. We put our eyes through stress with the overuse of digital devices and exposure to too much light. This is not often balanced out with adequate eye care practices.
Our eyes filter and absorb an endless stream of visual stimuli day after day. We often take them for granted. According to Ayurveda, the eyes are a seat of the pitta dosha (the fire principle), and most eye problems result from a pitta imbalance. If you have pitta-type eyes (medium in size; either light blue, light gray, light green, or hazel; and characterized by an intense luster), your chances for eye irritation and strain are higher than people who don't. And if you're around 40, you're more susceptible to eye problems because alochaka pitta (a subtype of pitta that governs vision) tends to decrease at that time.
Stress, anger, anxiety, alcohol, spicy food, pollution, and direct sunlight will also increase your risk for eye irritation.Ayurveda is perhaps the simplest and most natural way of improving eyesight.
