ABSTRACT
Background: Refractive errors such as myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism are prevalent worldwide due to factors like screen time and modern lifestyles. While glasses and contact lenses offer temporary relief, they fail to stabilize vision or restore it to normalcy. Alternative therapies like Yogic healing, a Bio-field therapy, aim to address this issue and contribute to WHO's vision 2020 initiative. Objectives: To estimate the impact of Yogic healing on refractive error in restoring to normal vision. Methods: This study involved 25 participants, averaging 24.38 years old with a male-to-female ratio of 3:2. They underwent 15 sessions of Yogic healing therapy on alternate days alongside regular eye exercises for 30 days. Pre-intervention eye exams determined their refractive error status, with a follow-up after the healing period to assess changes. 25 subjects with average age 24.38 years, sex ratio of 3: 2 (Male:Female), underwent 15 sessions of Yogic healing therapy on alternate days and regular eye exercise for a period of 30 days. Pre-intervention eye check-up was done to know the refractive error status. After 30 days of healing, repeat eye check-up was done to assess the changes. Results: On completion of therapy, 7 patients (28%) had complete restoration of refractive error with returning to normal vision, 2 patients (8%) had marked improvement of 80-90% and 9 patients (36%) had moderate improvement ranging from 60 to 80% with p value 0.001. Among 9 patients, 6 (66%) had improvement in refractive power by >1.5D and 2 patents (22%) had improvement by >2D as compared to pre healing session. Remaining 6 (24%) people had mild improvement 40-59%. Among the patient’s having cylinder, 75% had normalization of vision post therapy. Conclusions: Yogic healing shows promise as an adjunct therapy for visual impairment, potentially leading to glass-free vision. It operates as a natural, non-invasive complementary energy therapy based on Panchakosha vidya. However, further research with larger sample sizes and follow-up studies are necessary to validate its clinical implications fully.
