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.
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 the remedy.
Phos 30:
Short-sightedness
in tall, lean, narrow-chested person. 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., ice cream) 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. Details of these measures are given in
the book ‘Vision Training Programme’ by the same author.
