Myopia, also known as short-sightedness or near-sightedness, is an eye disorder in which a person cannot focus on a distant object. Usually myopia has prevalence under the age of 40.

Cause

The causative factor of Myopia is a combination of genetics and environmental factor. The causes comprise work involving focusing on near object, high socioeconomic class, greater time spent indoors and family history. Degenerative myopia has a genetic predisposition which can be seen in early childhood.

Myopia is caused when the light tend to focus in front of retina instead of falling upon the retina. This result in blurred vision of distant objects while near objects appears to be normal. The pathology involves either length of the eyeball growing too long, rarely lens refraction index increases, curvature of the lens or cornea increase or forward displacement of the lens.

Ayurveda role in managing Myopia

Myopia is generally corrected with eyeglasses or contact lens on diagnosis. Still Ayurveda plays a conservative role in managing the condition with certain internal medicines and external treatment.
