Abstract

Allergic conjunctivitis is a prevalent eye condition affecting individuals across all ages and can be associated with Vataj abhishyanda (Allergic Conjunctivitis) in Ayurvedic medicine, given the similarity in their signs and symptoms. Abhishyanda (Conjunctivitis) is often the underlying cause of many eye disorders and requires prompt and effective treatment to prevent serious complications that could endanger vision. If Abhishyanda (Conjunctivitis) becomes chronic, it can result in severe complications that make the condition difficult to control. In modern medicine, treatment typically involves eye drops and anti-allergic medications, which may come with potential side effects. However, Ayurvedic approaches to managing allergic conjunctivitis have demonstrated effective results in treating the condition without adverse effects and reducing the risk of recurrence. The objective of this literary paper is to establish relation between Allergic conjunctivitis and Vataj abhishyanda.
