Digital Eye Strain & Screen Fatigue: 5 Ayurvedic Remedies for 2026

In our modern digital landscape, digital eye strain (also known as Computer Vision Syndrome) affects over 75% of professionals working on screens for more than 4 hours a day. Symptoms include dry eyes, redness, blurred vision, tension headaches, and neck stiffness.

According to Sushruta Samhita, excessive light exposure and prolonged focal fixation aggravate Alochaka Pitta and Vata dosha in the eyes. Here are 5 classical remedies:

1. Triphala Eye Wash: Soaking organic Triphala powder overnight in boiled water, filtering through fine muslin cloth, and rinsing eyes morning.
2. Netra Tarpana Therapy: Periodic retention of lukewarm medicated ghee around the eyes.
3. 20-20-20 Palming Rule: Rubbing palms together and placing warm cupped hands over eyes every 20 minutes.
4. Anu Tailam Nasya: 2 drops of medicated oil in each nostril to nourish cranial nerves.
5. Dietary Pitta Pacifiers: Consuming organic cow ghee, amla (Indian gooseberry), raisins, and almonds.
