  1. Dear doctor,

    Which preparation is best for short-sightedness (myopia) – Jivantyadi ghrutam or Jivantyadi yamakam? Please also suggest when to take.

      I would like to correct you that Jivantyadi Yamak is not a preparation for Myopia. Rather it is for Sarva Kustha Roga & Vipadika.

      On the Contary, Jivantyadi Ghritum is a very good preparation for Myopia & other Opthalmic disorders.
      May be because of the similarity of names you got confused. Kindly rectify it.
