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”.

Myopia or "short-sightedness" is a refractive de-fect of the eye in which incoming light focuses in front of the retina, rather than directly on the retina. When looking at a distant object, this causes the image to be out of focus, whereas ther is normal focus when one looks at an object up close. In extreme cases, however, even close up vision is affected and glasses are required.

पूर्व कहो भिश्रिका जोई वाही विधि जो कीजै सोई ।
सब अंगुरी मुख ब्अझीझ आने मुखको फुनि संपुट करि ठाने ॥
जिभा उलटि तालवे धैरै हातांसो आरंभ पुनि करै ।
आरंभ की क्रिया है जाई विधिपूर्व अब वर्णों सोई ॥
दछि हथेली मुख परि करे दछिन नासा अंगुष्ठ धरै ।
सूर्यसु वाई उरि आनें सहित मात्रा कुंभक ठानै ॥
चन्द्र लभभद्रहृ करि वाय उतारे सम सरीर नीकी विधि बारे ।
जो दुजै स्वर आरंभ ठानेँ तो सब स्वर विधि उलटि ठाने ॥
