I am now 19 years old, and there is a white discolouration in my left eye. Vision also is getting less. Doctors diagnosed it as a corneal scar and advised me for laser treatment, and I want to avoid the laser. Can ayurveda help me?

Yes. There are methods in ayurveda for the treatment of corneal scars. The result depends on the intensity or thickness of the corneal scar, and if it is only superficial, success will be high.

I am now 30 years old. I had an injury in my right eye due to an accident, and now, the central part of my Cornea is white. Doctors say that treatment is complex, and sometimes, corneal transplantation may be necessary. How can Ayurveda help me?

Your vision is seriously affected since opacity is in the centre part of the Cornea. Before going for a laser, you can try Ayurvedic management. I hope you will get a good result from systematic ayurvedic treatments.

I am 25 years old, and a ball struck my eyes when I played cricket. Following that trauma, the Cornea became whitish. Can Ayurveda cure it?

If the scar is not deep, it can be cured. IP (admitted) level systematic ayurvedic treatments are necessary, such as Nasyam, Jalaukavacharanam, Anjanam etc.

Ayurvedic treatment for Eye Floaters

The term “eye floaters” is very common now. The number of patients seeking treatment for eye floaters is increasing gradually. What is an eye floater? It just means “Something that floats”. The patient experiences small dark objects – dots, webs, strings, thread, etc. in front of the eyes. It is not fixed, but moving. It darts away when the patient tries to focus on it. So, the name – eye floaters.

Simple eye floaters in a small level is harmless. It is seen in without any visual impairment or any other serious symptom, especially in senile people. But eye floaters are seen as a symptom in many other severe ophthalmic pathologies such as chorioretinopathy, macular edema, high myopia, retinal detachment, vitreous detachment, macular degeneration, etc. In hypertensive retinopathy and diabetic retinopathy also, patients may experience floaters. So, a differential diagnosis becomes absolutely necessary to proceed with treatment.

Dr. P. K. Santhakumari, Founder and Chief Physician of Matha Ayurveda Eye Hospitals, talks about Ayurvedic Treatment for Eye Floaters

If analysed on the basis of ayurvedic principles, Vata has a predominant role in pathology. So, to normalize the function of Vata is the main aim of treatment. When coming to the treatment aspect, the disease is to be considered as two groups:
1. Simple harmless eye floaters
2. Floaters associated with other ocular pathologies.

The first group is comparatively easy to treat. Here, the treatment is focused on normalizing the functions of Vata. Sirodhara, Siro abhyanga, Netra tharpanam, etc. with selective medicines are the treatment procedures. Internal medicines are also necessary.

In the second group, treatment is to be done very carefully. The treatment cannot be focused simply on “eye floaters”. The ocular pathology which leads to floaters is more important. So, the treatment may vary from one person to another, according to the clinical condition, existing ocular pathology and other systemic diseases (if any)
