Rajesh began a daily 10-minute Tratak kriya practice three weeks ago, using a lamp fueled by sesame oil or ghee. He placed it about 4–8 feet away and maintained steady gaze until tears appeared, followed by visualization between his eyebrows.

I saw that my eye-sight was getting a bit blurry (despite my spectacles) – and I tried cleaning my specs quite often assuming that there was dirt in the specs. But that did not solve the problem. I realized that either I go to the optician to check my power again (within 3 months?????), or try tratak. This time around, I tried tratak kriya and it surely improved my eyesight.

He reports that his eyesight noticeably improved, reducing his need to clean his glasses frequently. Though he hadn’t yet experienced enhanced intuition, he appreciated the ease of practice—merely trading ten minutes of TV time for meditation.

🧭 Reflection

This story highlights how a focused, short-term Tratak routine can sharpen vision and create small but meaningful lifestyle shifts. Rajesh’s practical approach—choosing meditation over another optician visit—demonstrates how traditional yogic practices can address modern visual challenges.

✅ Why It Works

• Concentrated visual focus: Steady gazing strengthens eye muscles and improves visual acuity.
• Tear production: Natural eye lubrication helps clear vision and reduce strain.
• Minimal time investment: Just 10 minutes daily creates measurable improvements.
