Ayurvedic View
Shushka akshi paka- Dosha involved is vata and pitta dosha prakopa, which is due to long time seeing of bright light, eye strain, ratri jagarana (night awakening), etc. This prakupita dosha enters akshi (eyes) and the patient has feelings of gharshana (foreign body sensation in eyes),toda (pricking pain in eye), and blurred vision, this is computer vision syndrome. Ayurveda way of approach is to reduce prakopa (aggravation) of dosha in akshi (eyes), bring dosha back to a normal state, improve vision, and reduce symptoms by the ayurvedic line of panchakarma treatment and by local treatment for the eye.
