Abstract

Acharya Sushruta described Abhishyanda in Sarvagata Vyadhi, affecting all parts of the eye. It is of four types –Vataja abhishyanda, Pittaja abhishyanda, Kaphaja abhishyanda, Raktaja abhishyanda. Abhishyanda is considered as root cause of all eye diseases. If it is not treated in time it leads to severe complications like Adhimantha and Hatadhimantha. To avoid such complications Acharya Sushruta has stressed on the importance of immediate need of treatment in this disease. The drugs present in modern medicine are very costly and not safe to all the patients. Simple allergic conjunctivitis is one of such condition in which all the patients do not respond equally to available anti allergic drugs. None of the anti allergic drugs available in the market can cure the conjunctivitis completely and steroids cause many of the side effects.
