Myopia (Short-Sightedness)

Myopia is a visual defect in which near vision is good but distance vision is blurred. The victim, usually a child or a youth, requires minus (concave) glasses to see clearly at distance. In young age, myopia is progressive so that glasses gradually grow thicker.

Homeopathic Treatment

Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with your symptoms:

Physostigma 30 : Increasing myopia, with small pupils and twitching eye-muscles. The eyes feel tired and irritated even after a little use. Soreness of tongue-tip and a fluttering of the heart (which is felt even in the throat) are other features of this remedy.

Phos 30 : Short-sightedness in tall, lean, narrow­chested persons. Black floaters before the eyes. Lights seem to be surrounded by a green halo. Letters appear red. Puffiness all around the eyes. An oversensitive nature and an irresistible desire for cold drinks and foods (e.g., ice­cream) are other pointers to this remedy.

Notes:

1. Since myopia is a progressive defect tending to increase during the entire childhood and adolescence, other therapeutic measures like eye-exercises, Acupressure- and Magnet Therapy are, perhaps, more important than medicines.
