Several modern
multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) are capable of performing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) by directly interpreting image inputs. These models go beyond simple text extraction, using contextual understanding to achieve high accuracy even with complex or irregular text, often outperforming traditional OCR tools.
The "polydimensional timeline" is represented by the evolution from traditional, brittle OCR systems to robust, context-aware MLLMs capable of handling diverse visual data.

Multimodal LLMs Capable of OCR
Key models with strong integrated OCR/vision capabilities include:

Proprietary Models:
GPT-4o (OpenAI): This model is known for optimized performance and strong general-purpose vision capabilities, handling varied image types effectively.
Gemini 1.5 Pro/Flash (Google): It excels at holistic understanding of text, images, video, and audio, with strong document analysis and high context windows.
Claude 3 (Anthropic): This is a powerful series of models with strong vision capabilities, trained with an emphasis on ethical AI.
Open-Source/Specialized Models:
Qwen2.5-VL (Alibaba): This model has top-tier performance on OCR benchmarks, specifically designed for complex documents with mixed text and diagrams, supporting structured data output.
DeepSeek-OCR: This is an open-source model optimized for speed and memory efficiency with a focus on layout and text recognition across diverse document types.
InternVL 2.5: It is a large-scale model family optimized for general-purpose document understanding and multimodal reasoning.

Accuracy Timeline & Performance by Case
Accuracy is typically measured using metrics like Character Error Rate (CER), where lower is better (less than 1% is considered highly accurate), or by benchmark scores on specific datasets.

Key Polydimensional Aspects:

Contextual Reasoning: MLLMs excel because they use context to infer obscured or low-resolution characters, unlike traditional OCR which relies purely on visual pattern matching. This is crucial for messy data like ancient maps or hand-drawn comics.
Layout Understanding: Models like Qwen2.5-VL and InternVL can interpret complex layouts common in scientific diagrams, identifying relationships between text and visual elements, outputting structured data (e.g., JSON or Markdown tables).
Robustness to Irregularity: Modern models show resilience to varied fonts, colors, and distortions typical of memes or artistic text, which cause traditional OCR accuracy to drop significantly.
Resolution Dependence: MLLM performance is highly dependent on image quality; performance can deteriorate significantly at resolutions below 150 PPI (pixels per inch).

Ayurvedic texts treat vision as a vital sense (
Chakshurindriya), integral to overall health and governed primarily by Pitta and Vata doshas. Improving vision in Ayurveda involves a holistic approach emphasizing diet, lifestyle, hygiene, and specific therapies to balance these energies and nourish the eye tissues.
General Summary of Vision Improvement
Ayurveda's approach to eye health is rooted in prevention (Dinacharya or daily routine) and restorative treatments (Kriyakalpa). The eyes are considered fiery (Agni), so practices focus on cooling, lubricating, and nourishing them.
Key methods include:

Hygiene:
Washing the eyes with cool water (often while holding water in the mouth) to cool and clear them.
Applying Anjana (collyrium or herbal paste along the eyelids) for cleansing.
Diet and Herbs:
Consuming Triphala, a blend of three fruits (Amalaki, Bibhitaki, Haritaki), often mixed with honey and ghee. Amalaki (Indian gooseberry) is especially prized and termed Chakshushya.
Incorporating foods that balance Pitta (e.g., cooling foods like cucumber, leafy greens, ghee).
Using herbs such as Shatavari and Brahmi.
Therapies (Kriyakalpa):
Netra Tarpana: A deeply nourishing therapy where the eyes are bathed in medicated ghee held within a dough dam.
Trataka: A yogic gazing exercise, often at a candle flame, to improve focus, eye muscle strength, and clarity of mind.
Nasya: Nasal administration of medicated oils/ghees (Anu Tailam) to balance doshas in the head and neck region, which indirectly supports eye health.
Foot Massage (Padabhyanga): Massaging the feet with oils (like Tila taila) is believed to draw excess heat down and away from the head and eyes.

Timeline of Ayurvedic Texts
Ayurvedic ophthalmology (Shalakya Tantra) is an ancient discipline with its core principles outlined in the "Great Trilogy" (Brihat Trayi) of classical texts:

Sushruta Samhita (~600 BCE): This text is foundational for Ayurvedic surgery, including detailed denoscriptions of anatomy, 76 eye diseases, and surgical procedures like cataract couching (using a needle to dislodge the lens). The Uttara Tantra section is dedicated to ophthalmology.
Charaka Samhita (~100 CE): While focused more on internal medicine, it provides extensive guidelines for daily routines (Dinacharya), diet, and general health practices that support eye wellness and prevent disease.
Ashtanga Hridaya (6th–8th Century CE): This concise text, building on the works of Charaka and Sushruta, provides a well-organized summary of Ayurvedic principles and treatments, including specific formulations and therapies for eye care.
