Eye diseases encompass a wide range of conditions that can affect various structures of the eye, leading to visual impairments and potential loss of vision. Some of the common eye diseases include refractive errors, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, amblyopia (lazy eye), and strabismus (crossed eyes).

Refractive errors are among the most prevalent eye conditions and include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia (age-related difficulty in focusing up close). Refractive errors occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from properly focusing on the retina, resulting in blurry vision. Corrective measures such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgeries like LASIK can help address these conditions and improve vision.

According to Ayurveda, eye diseases are signs of an imbalance of doshas within the human body. As per Ayurveda Glaucoma is a medical condition in which the imbalance of Vata, pitta and Kapha occurs. Ayurvedic procedures help to control the intraocular pressure and thus clear the obstruction in the flow of eye fluid. Ayurveda treatment helps to control the advanced degeneration making vision stabilized especially in macular degeneration. It gives strength to the retina and improvement of vision thus correcting the refractive errors.

Treatments include Netradhara, Netra tharpanam, Anjnama, Aschyotanam, Pindi, etc.
