Pterygium is one such eye disorder found commonly. Pterygium is elastic degeneration of deep conjunctiva layers resulting in fibro vascular tissue proliferation. Pterygium mentioned in modern science shares clinical profile with Arma based on its clinical presentation, location, surgical method of management; hence it is correlated directly to pterygium for the study purpose. Kriyakalpas are the main mode of management in all types of Nethra rogas and Anjana is one of the simple yet very effective method of treatment in Arma. Here a randomized clinical trial is conducted to study the effect of Pippalyadi Anjana on Prastari Arma with special reference to progressive pterygium. The results showed satisfactory effects.
