Myopia
Myopia generally occurs in the young and
patient experiences difficulty in seeing objects at a distance.
This is because of the parallel rays transmitted by the objects,
focusing in front of the retina. This may be due to the change
in the curvature of the refracting surface of the eye or due to
abnormal refractivity of the media of the eye.
Normally after the use of spectacles with concave lens of
appropriate curvature, the patient is relieved of the trouble.
In one type of myopia, the morbidity continues to increase in
adult life. This is called “Progressive myopia” and the
patient goes on changing his lens for higher numbers. In
Ayurveda this condition in known as ‘ drishti dosha’.
In Ayurveda, person suffering from chronic cold and constipation
are considered to be more prone to get myopia. Nervous debility
is also considered to give rise to this trouble.
