Abstract

For a healthy lifestyle, the first and the foremost task is to keep our body and mind healthy. In the current scenario when there is increase in pandemics, pollutions and infections, it is very tough to survive. Moreover the viruses and bacterias are rather changing their genetic structure i.e. mutated which is making human body impossible to fight against them. In the current scenario of covid19, a novel corona virus has created a stir in the entire world by taking millions of lives and infecting millions of people. Ayurveda supports the theory of prevention first before treatment. In order to treat any disease ayurveda has described two types of treatments.[1] 1. To prevent the disease by maintaining general health(swasthasya swasthya rakshanam) 2. To cure the disease(aaturasya vikara prashamanam) Eyes are the gateways of external world, visual defects tantamount to the obliteration of the world. Therefore it is very important to take good care of our eyes particularly in the age of digitalization where the eyes are susceptible to damages due to increased screen time.
