Under Ayurveda, impaired eyesight is known as Drishtigata and may manifest either through disease or simply weakness in the eye. With proper care for your eyes and maintenance measures in place, this condition may be avoided altogether.

Early signs of macular degeneration include blurry or distorted vision; straight lines appear wavy or crooked and an increasing central blind spot appears over time.

Preventive Measures

Macular degeneration is a serious eye condition that can lead to vision loss. It affects the central part of the retina – which allows us to perceive detail and color – which allows for detail perception. Macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of blindness among people over 50 in Western countries; usually starting in one eye before gradually progressing throughout time as age or genetic factors become involved; smoking or poor diet habits often exacerbate its progression over time.

There are two primary forms of macular degeneration – dry and wet. In its dry form, cells within the macula deteriorate, leading to central vision loss; while its wet form occurs when abnormal blood vessels sprout beneath the retina that leak fluid and distort vision causing dilations of vision; both forms tend to progress more quickly than their counterparts.

Prevention is key when it comes to macular degeneration. Preventive measures include eating healthily and keeping eyes moisturized, refraining from smoking (which increases your risk), wearing sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats in sunlight protection, regular physical activity and keeping weight under control, among many others.

Ayurvedic therapies have proven themselves effective for treating macular degeneration. A recent study demonstrated this point with participants receiving Ayurved treatments experiencing improved near and distant visual acuity after receiving these therapies versus standard medical approaches.

Medications

The macula is a small area on your retina located at the back of your eye that provides central vision, so that fine details and activities such as reading or driving can be seen easily. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), however, causes damage to this small region which subsequently blurs your central vision; usually only this aspect is affected – peripheral vision remains normal in these cases.

Ayurved treatment of macular degeneration may help enhance your vision while slowing its progression, however starting treatment early is key – starting sooner could even reverse some damage done to your eyes! Some medications, including antioxidant vitamins, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids can even reverse damage done to them while getting enough sunlight exposure and eating healthily may also prevent macular degeneration from progressing further.

AMD can quickly lead to blindness if left untreated and is the leading cause of severe vision loss among adults over 50. There are two forms of macular degeneration: dry and wet. Dry macular degeneration is more prevalent and caused by deposits in the retina called drusen; while wet macular degeneration involves bleeding or abnormal new blood vessels appearing beneath the retina that rupture and rupture resulting in more rapid vision loss than its dry counterpart.

Macular pucker, also referred to as epiretinal membrane or cellophane maculopathy, is a condition which results in blurry central vision. While surgery may be considered the solution for macular pucker, Ayurveda therapy may offer more effective and safe therapies as an alternative treatment approach.

Ayurved medicine can help to alleviate fluid accumulation in the macula that causes blurring and distortion of vision, as well as resolve oedema that resulted from fluid build-up, as well as improve both distant and near visual acuity as measured on OCT scans. When treating central serous retinopathy (CSR) using Ayurved medicine, several oral medicines including Punarnvadi Kashaya and Candraprabha Vati were taken by mouth along with internal treatment procedures like Snehapanam Panchakarma and external therapies like Shiropichu. All together these therapies brought success and no further episodes were seen from CSR after one year follow up research confirmed that CSR had not returned!

Lifestyle Changes

Macular degeneration is an incurable and degenerative eye condition that can eventually lead to blindness. Its cause lies in deterioration of the macula – a small region in the retina at the back of each eye which allows you to clearly see fine details while driving, reading, recognizing faces or colors – but does not compromise distance or peripheral vision. While central vision declines significantly as part of this disease process, peripheral and distance vision remain intact.

Macular degeneration can be caused by genetics, ageing and eating a diet high in fat and sugar. Smoking and UV light exposure may exacerbate it further. Therefore it’s vital that one maintains regular physical exercise routines, maintain a healthy weight, consume lots of vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins C and E such as green vegetables and fruit, take multivitamin supplements containing zinc copper vitamin E beta carotene lutein supplements are also taken daily for maximum protection against macular degeneration.

There are two forms of macular degeneration; wet macular degeneration and dry macular degeneration. The former typically results in gradual central vision loss due to the build-up of drusen under the macula; dry macular degeneration is less prevalent but more serious as abnormal blood vessels form beneath the retina, often within days or even hours; wet macular degeneration can be treated by taking anti-VEGF drugs that block their growth; however.

Ayurved treatments for macular degeneration aim to improve vision, reduce further damage and manage existing symptoms of the condition. They include Janu Basti – Knee Treatment; Vaksha Basti – Thalassic Therapy and Nasya Eye Cleaning Therapy, among other therapies. Additionally, Kansya Bhasma powder made by soaking raw rice in milk then using heat pressure cooling is included as it treats dryness itching burning sensations as well as improve vision while simultaneously increasing memory retention.

Other solutions may include taking a warm bath or shower daily, wearing sunglasses to shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, not staring directly at bright lights for long periods, doing yoga regularly and getting regular massages; you could also try acupressure and acupuncture as ways of relieving stress.

Diet

The macula is the part of your retina (the inside back layer of eyeball) responsible for controlling central vision. It converts light and images into electrical signals sent directly to your brain for processing; when it degenerates you will gradually lose your central vision. AMD is one of the primary causes of blindness among adults aged 50 or over and can develop quickly or gradually depending on its type and severity. There are two main types of AMD: “dry” and “wet”. Dry macular degeneration is an early, less serious form of macular degeneration; wet AMD is more severe and can quickly lead to vision loss. It is caused by abnormal blood vessels growing underneath the macula which leak fluid into macular oedema, making your vision blurry or dark.

Ayurved treatments for macular degeneration aim to restore central vision by means of diet changes, certain herbs, and traditional therapies such as Tarpana which can be performed both in-person or at home. Such remedies may reduce the risk of wet AMD while slowing its progress and improving overall vision quality and daily tasks performance.

According to a study, eating foods high in lutein and vitamins A, C and E may help protect against age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). Such foods include spinach, mustard greens, kale spirulina and shatavari – important sources of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that could provide protection from AMD.

Case report of a 30-year-old male suffering from Stargardts macular dystrophy treated through classical Ayurvedic therapy from Snehapana to Yogavasthi. Ayurved treatment significantly enhanced both distant and near vision; reading newspaper and driving were made much simpler thanks to improvements in visual acuity. Furthermore, treatment helped alleviate metamorphopsia symptoms along with blurred vision symptoms.
