Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, has become increasingly prevalent in today’s world, driven by prolonged screen use, reduced outdoor activities, and insufficient eye care. While corrective lenses and surgical methods provide temporary or immediate relief, they often fail to address the root causes of the issue. Ayurveda, with its holistic approach, offers a long-term and natural solution for managing myopia. At Kesavatheeram, we provide a combination of specialized therapies, herbal remedies, and lifestyle guidance, ensuring comprehensive care for better vision and overall eye health.
Understanding Myopia from an Ayurvedic Perspective
In Ayurveda, myopia (referred to as Drishtidosha) is often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, aggravated by modern lifestyle factors like:
- Excessive screen exposure
- Poor dietary habits
- Inadequate rest or sleep
- Chronic eye strain
This imbalance weakens the eye muscles and reduces the capacity to focus on distant objects. Ayurvedic treatments aim to restore the doshic balance, strengthen ocular muscles, detoxify the body, and rejuvenate eye tissues.

Our Ayurvedic treatments are carefully tailored to address the root causes of myopia. Each therapy complements the others, providing synergistic benefits for vision improvement and eye health.
