What is keratoconus And there is any treatment in Ayurveda?

Keratoconus is an eye condition in which the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, becomes thin and gradually bulges outward into a cone shape. This change affects how light enters the eye and can cause blurred or distorted vision, increased sensitivity to light, and difficulty seeing clearly at night. Keratoconus often develops slowly and may worsen over time if not properly managed. Along with conventional options, many people look for natural approaches such as keratoconus treatment in ayurveda. Ayurveda views keratoconus as a condition related to weakness of eye tissues and imbalance in the body’s natural systems. The focus of treatment is on strengthening the cornea, improving nourishment to the eyes, and supporting overall eye health. Keratoconus treatment in ayurveda usually includes herbal medicines, specialized Ayurvedic eye therapies, and personalized diet and lifestyle guidance. These treatments are non-invasive and aim to help slow disease progression, improve visual comfort, and support long-term eye wellness in a natural way.
