Introduction: Myopic astigmatism is a common refractive error characterized by blurred and distorted vision. Conventional management is limited to optical correction. In Ayurveda, similar visual disturbances are described under Timira, particularly Vataja Prathama Patalagata Timira. Materials and Methods: A 25-year-old male diagnosed with myopic astigmatism in both eyes was managed using a samprapti-based Ayurvedic treatment protocol including Deepana–Pachana, Nasya, Tarpana, Pindi, and internal medications. Visual acuity, refraction, and associated symptoms were assessed over a follow-up period of 46 days. Results: Gradual improvement in unaided distant visual acuity, reduction in headache and ocular pain, and mild reduction in refractive power were observed. Best corrected visual acuity remained 6/6 in both eyes, with reduced dependency on spectacles. Conclusion: The case suggests that Ayurvedic management may have a supportive role in myopic astigmatism.
