Abstract: Myopia, a common refractive error, affects a growing portion of the population globally. While conventional treatments like spectacles and contact lenses offer symptomatic relief, there is a growing interest in alternative therapies that may help maintain ocular health and potentially delay myopic progression. This paper presents a conceptual study exploring the add-on effect of Guduchyadi Rasakriya Anjana, a classical Ayurvedic ophthalmic preparation, in managing simple myopia. Drawing upon Ayurvedic principles, pharmacodynamics of the ingredients, and supportive evidence from allied ophthalmic disorders, the paper proposes a hypothesis and outlines a potential research methodology.
