Abstract

Shalakya Tantra is one of the eight branches of Ayurveda, focuses on the study of disorders of the Netra, Karna, Nasa, and Mukha as well as their treatment. The Netra (eyeball) is an essential sensory organ. Even while contemporary ophthalmology has made significant strides, there are still certain restrictions. For the specific eye issue, modern medicine lacks a conclusive solution. The traditional medical system of Ayurveda offers helpful guidelines for preventive and curative therapy. One local therapeutic method that, when employed quickly, demonstrates measurable proof of outstanding results is Netratarpana kriya. Netra Tarpana is often used as a Kriya in the nourishing Netra Chikitsa. It is also frequently referred to as Akshitarpana or Netra Basti. In this digital era, eyes are under a significant stress as a result of high screen usage. So, it is now more important than ever to protect and preserve your eyes against refractive problems. In this case study, effectiveness of Mahatriphladya Ghrita Akshitarpana in Timira w.s.r. to myopia is discussed.
