Our lives and health depend heavily on our eyes. Overuse of digital devices and excessive exposure to blue light cause too much stress on our eyes. Our eye health is also negatively impacted by conditions like diabetes.

Elements are connected to the components of the eyes. Earth controls the muscles surrounding the eyes, water controls the whiteness of the eyes, fire controls the blood vessels, space controls the tear ducts and channels, and air controls the color of the eyes. The eye is governed by the Alochaka Pitta, and as people age, their Pitta dosha becomes more imbalanced, which can result in a number of issues connected to vision. 

Maintaining healthy eyes and clear vision is made easier with good eye care practices. According to Ayurveda, in the morning, one should hold some water in the mouth while bathing the eyes with cool water. The eyes should not be bathed in water that is too hot or too cold. An Ayurvedic remedy for improving vision is to stare intently at a ghee lamp that has been lighted with a cotton swab. It enhances eye shine and gives your vision more vigor. Applying a cotton swab soaked in goat’s milk to your eyes is a fantastic method to relieve eye strain.
