*Dr. Neha Sunil Bhumkar, Dr. Swati Vishnu Sarwade

Abstract

This study explores Vataja Abhishyanda, an eye disorder described in Ayurveda, and compares it with Allergic Conjunctivitis as understood in modern medicine. By analyzing classical Ayurvedic concepts alongside current medical knowledge, the paper highlights similarities in symptoms and diagnosis. It also suggests an integrative treatment approach combining Ayurvedic therapies such as Shamana (palliative), Shodhana (purification), and Kriyakalpa (local eye procedures) with conventional methods. The findings support the potential of Ayurvedic treatments in effectively managing allergic eye conditions, especially when used alongside modern ophthalmic care.

Keywords: Vatajaabhishyanda, Allergic conjunctivitis, Ayurveda, Shalakya Tantra.
