Abstract

In this research work we have formulated an herbal alternative for ophthalmic disorders. The number of ocular disorders is increasing daily due to rapid development of human civilization although there are synthetic formulations available still the demand for herbal alternative is growing daily, as people are getting more health oriented and the knowledge about the potential hazard of synthetic product is well known. This demand is enough for the development of formulation. We have used herbs like Neem, Amla, Chakshushya, Mamira as their use is well known for reducing inflammation and other underlying issues. The formulation was prepared in sterile condition and all the necessary practices were followed. Various pre-evaluation and post evaluation of the product were conducted as per the instructions provided by various literatures, ensuring safe and efficient formulation. All the specifications were met although it’s use for humans is still subject to further animal toxicology studies.
