بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَدَنِي، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي سَمْعِي، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
In the name of Allah. O Allah, grant me health in my body. O Allah, grant me health in my hearing. O Allah, grant me health in my sight. There is no god but You.
Bismillah, Allahumma 'afini fi badani, Allahumma 'afini fi sam'i, Allahumma 'afini fi basari, la ilaha illa anta.

This dua is perfect to recite when you feel any discomfort, pain, or notice any changes in your eyes. It's a comprehensive supplication for overall well-being, specifically calling for health in sight. You can make this a regular part of your morning routine, like the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to, or recite it specifically when a problem arises.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and conviction, focusing your heart on Allah's ability to heal.

Virtues & Benefits
This powerful dua, taught by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, encompasses a holistic plea for well-being, specifically including the eyes ('basari'). By asking for health in one's body, hearing, and sight, we are essentially asking Allah for the complete functionality and protection of these vital senses and organs. The repetition of 'Allahumma 'afini' (O Allah, grant me health) emphasizes our complete reliance on Him for healing and protection from all ailments. It's a recognition that true health and well-being come from Allah alone. The concluding phrase, 'La ilaha illa anta' (There is no god but You), reinforces our Tawhid (Oneness of Allah), connecting our supplication to the fundamental belief in His absolute power and sovereignty.
Source & Authentication
Narrated by Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakrah: My father narrated that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say during the morning prayer: 'O Allah, bless us in our hearing, bless us in our sight, bless us in our soul, bless us in our knowledge, bless us in our deeds, O Allah, grant us well-being, and bless us in our religion which is the best of our affairs, and grant us well-being in our worldly life, for indeed it is the place of our gathering, and bless us in our Hereafter, for indeed it is our destination, until death overtakes us. O Allah, make us pleased with Your decree, and grant us blessings in what comes after that. O Allah, grant us provisions for the Day of need, and make us safe from the humiliation of the Day of Judgment, until we meet You, O Lord of the worlds.' And he (Abd al-Rahman) said: My father used to teach me these words, and he used to say: 'The Prophet (ﷺ) used to seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the Day of Judgment.' [Narrated by Ahmad, and also by Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah, and its chain of narration is Hasan]. The specific wording used in this entry is a shorter, focused version directly related to seeking health in specific body parts, including sight, as found in other narrations like Sunan Abi Dawud 3919.
