Abstract	Abstract Netra is considered one of the most important sense organs in Ayurveda, and maintaining healthy vision is essential for a good quality of life. In today’s modern lifestyle, increasing use of mobile phones, computers, television, and other digital devices, along with stress, irregular food habits, lack of sleep, smoking, alcohol consumption, and pollution, has led to a rise in eye disorders at a younger age. Ayurveda focuses not only on treatment but also on prevention through the concept of Swasthavritta. Practices such as Dinacharya (daily regimen), Ritucharya (seasonal regimen), proper Ahara (diet), and healthy Vihara (lifestyle) help maintain the balance of Tridosha, Agni, Dhatu, and Mala, thereby supporting ocular health. Classical procedures like Anjana, Nasya, Netra Prakshalana, and other Netra Swasthyakara Upakrama mentioned by Ayurvedic Acharyas are especially beneficial for maintaining eye health and preventing Netra Roga. When followed scientifically and regularly, these practices can help reduce the impact of modern lifestyle-related ocular problems. This article aims to review various Ayurvedic preventive measures for eye care and their relevance in present-day lifestyle disorders affecting the eyes.
