Todayโs Times of India report reminds us that nearly 17 percent of Indiaโs diabetics already show signs of retinal damage, and 3.6 percent could lose their sight entirely if we donโt act now. As an Ayurvedic eye specialist, I see both the power of modern screening and the wisdom of Ayurveda as key to protecting millions from preventable blindness.

Modern fundus cameras can detect tiny leaks in retinal blood vessels before you notice any vision change. I encourage every diabetic patient to include an annual retina scan in their health routine, just as vital as checking blood sugar.

Ayurveda teaches us that antioxidants help protect blood vessels.Simple, remedies like Triphala kwath or Amla juice can reduce oxidative stress in the eyes. Over the years, Iโve seen patients maintain healthier retinas when they pair these herbs with their regular diabetes care.

Netra Tarpan helps with gently bathing the eyes in medicated ghee, as it nourishes and soothes the retina.
Letโs make retinal screening as automatic as a bloodโsugar test for every diabetic. If you or a loved one has diabetes, please:

Together, by combining timely eye checks with Ayurvedic support, we can slow, and even stop, the tide of diabetic blindness in India.
