Simple Myopia, Degenerative Myopia, Pseudomyopia, Nocturnal Myopia, Induced Myopia and Index Myopia are some of the major types of Myopia.

The primary cause of this problem is insufficient eye length. Many people have hypermetropia without even realizing it since the eye compensates for it naturally. Hyperopia can be caused by diabetes or issues with the cells in the retina in certain cases.

A mix of hereditary and environmental factors is thought to be the root reason. Spending more time indoors and focusing on close objects and having a genetic history of the illness are all possible causes.

Myopia and hypermetropia are common refractive errors of the eye that affect the ability to see clearly. Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a condition where objects up close appear clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. This happens when the cornea is too curved, or the eyeball is too long. This causes the light to focus in front of the eye’s retina instead of on it.

Hypermetropia, also known as farsightedness, is a condition where distant objects appear clear, but near objects appear blurry. This condition happens when the cornea is too flat, or the eyeball is too short, causing light to focus behind the eye’s retina instead of on it.

As per Ayurveda, Myopia can be reduced by following some safe remedies like following a healthy diet that is rich in vitamins and minerals, using Ayurvedic eye drops, and doing various eye exercises such as palming, blinking, and focusing to improve eye strength and vision.

While Ayurvedic remedies are generally considered safe, it is always advisable to consult with an Ayurvedic doctor before using any herbal remedies to improve eye health, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medication.

While one eye cannot have both myopia (nearsightedness) and hypermetropia (farsightedness) at the same time, it is possible for one eye to have myopia and the other hypermetropia—a condition called anisometropia. These refractive errors can occur at different stages of life and may also increase the risk of eye strain and vision problems. Ayurvedic Cataract Treatment and holistic eye care in Ayurveda help address such vision imbalances early, supporting overall eye health.

Myopia itself doesn’t directly cause blindness, but high myopia increases the risk of serious complications such as macular degeneration, retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts. Early intervention through Natural Cataract Treatment in Ayurveda, along with herbal eye care and Panchakarma therapies, can help prevent such degenerative changes and maintain visual clarity.

One of the most common complications of high myopia is the development of cataracts, along with risks like retinal detachment, myopic maculopathy, and glaucoma. Regular eye checkups and holistic support through Ayurvedic Cataract Treatment can slow down these complications and support natural healing through herbal remedies and eye rejuvenation therapies.
