Since Ayurveda places a high value on both disease prevention and treatment, it is important to preserve health. Through their explanation of Pathya Apathya, the Acharyas have equipped us with the necessary knowledge to prevent and manage lifestyle issues related to eye diseases. Daily observations assessed the effectiveness of specific dietary habits and medications in preventing eye disorders. pathya apathya is used to explain certain parts of daily routine. The word "Chakshu" means "which enlightens the mind about its details and illuminates the objects." The term Chakshushya is crucial when discussing Pathya and Apathya since it is used in classic literature to describe the effects of consuming specific beneficial regimes (Pathya) and nonbeneficial medications and practices (apthya), among other things. Various ahar vargas, which list the qualities of every food item, have been referenced in ancient scriptures. With this understanding, we may choose our meals carefully and follow a daily routine to maintain netra swasthya, or eye health.
