Chronic dry eyes after LASIK are common due to reduced tear production and aggravated Vata-Pitta dosha. While lubricating drops help temporarily, Ayurveda focuses on nourishing and strengthening the eyes naturally.
Ayurvedic Remedies for Dry Eyes:
Triphala Ghrita â Take ½ tsp with warm milk at bedtime to strengthen eye health.
Anu Taila Nasya â Put 2 drops in each nostril daily in the morning to lubricate the eyes internally.
Jeevantyadi Ghrita / Mahatriphala Ghrita â Use as eyewash by mixing with lukewarm water.
External Application:
Rose Water â Use organic rose water as eye drops twice daily.
Cold Milk Compress â Soak cotton in cold milk and place on closed eyelids for 10 minutes.
Castor Oil â Apply 1 drop of pure castor oil (chemical-free) in each eye before bedtime.
Diet & Lifestyle Tips:
Eat ghee, almonds, walnuts, and
vitamin A-rich foods (carrots, papaya, spinach).
Stay hydrated and avoid excess screen time.
Blink frequently while using screens and follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
Consistency is keyâfollow for 3 months for noticeable improvement.
