CARE FOR SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS
This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.
Disease Description
Myopia or "shortsightedness" is a refractive defect of the eye in which the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it. This causes the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus but in focus when looking at a close object.
Myopia presents with blurry distance vision, but generally gives good near vision. In high myopia, even near vision is affected, and patients cannot read without their glasses for distance.

पूर्व कहो भिश्रिका जोई वाही विधि जो कीजै सोई ।
सब अंगुरी मुख ब्अझीझ आने मुखको पुनि संपुट करि ठाने ॥
जिभा उलटि तालवे धरै हाथांसो आरंभ पुनि करै ।
आरंभ की क्रिया है जाई विधिपूर्व अब वर्णों सोई ॥
दछ्हि हथेली मुख परि करे दछिन नासा अंगुष्ट धरै ।
सूर्यसु वाई उरि आनै सहित मात्रा कुंभक ठानै ॥
चन्द्र लभभद्रठह्ह करि वाय उतारे सम सरीर नीकी विधि धारे ।
जो दुजै स्वर आरंभ ठानें तो सब स्वर विधि उलटि ठाने ॥
