Abstract [English]

Myopia is an emerging global health problem. It is a rapidly increasing eye-related problem which has become a serious concern not only in India but all over the world. The prevalence of this problem is increasing among children and youth especially in urban areas. Due to myopia, a person sees distant objects blurred which affects daily activities. Traditional treatment methods include glasses, lenses, surgery. Trataka and Jala Neti have been described effectively in Indian Yoga Shastra to maintain eye health. This paper critically discusses the effects of Trataka and Jala Neti on myopia to understand how these yogic practices can help in the management of myopia.

Abstract [Hindi]

मायोपिया एक उभरती हुई वैश्विक स्वास्थ्य समस्या है। यह तेजी से बढ़ती हुई आंखों से संबंधित समस्या है जो केवल भारत में ही नहीं, बल्कि पूरे विश्व में एक गंभीर चिंता का विषय बन गई है। विशेष रूप से शहरी क्षेत्रों में बच्चों और युवाओं में इस समस्या की व्यापकता बढ़ती जा रही है। मायोपिया के कारण व्यक्ति को दूर की वस्तुएँ धुंधली दिखाई देती हैं जिससे दैनिक गतिविधियाँ प्रभावित होती है। पारंपरिक उपचार विधियों में चश्मा, लेंस, शल्य चिकित्सा शामिल है। भारतीय योग शास्त्र में नेत्र स्वास्थ्य को बनाए रखने के लिए प्रभावी रूप से त्राटक और जलनेति का वर्णन किया गया है। इस शोध-पत्र में निकट दृष्टिदोष (मायोपिया)पर त्राटक और जलनेति के प्रभाव का समीक्षात्मक विवेचन किया गया है, ताकि यह समझा जा सके कि ये योगिक क्रियाएँ किस प्रकार मायोपिया के प्रबंधन में सहायक हो सकती है।
