Brief Summary: Globally, 2.2 billion people have distance vision impairment.The prevalence of myopia in 5 to 15 years old urban children increased from 4.44% in 1999 to 21.15% in 2019. Myopia is a commonest clinical condition in which the refracted light spectrum from all possible direction forms an image before / in front of retina. This situation induces blurry vision & related clinical features.Concept of Refractive Errors nearly correlates with *Timira*. It is a conduction explained in classics starting from minimal visual blurriness to visual hallucinations, delusions, abrasions, etc. Spectacles, contact lenses, Ortho-optic treatment, few medications, suppliments and surgical intervention are treatment options available. Various systemic and local therapies in the form of *Kriyakalpa* procedures like *Aschyotana, Seka, Anjana,* etc are explained for vision enhancement.*Nayana Sukha Varti* is a classical formulation of *Anjana*from *Bhaishajya Ratnavali* indicated in *Timira*. In Anjana procedure, it is advised to rub Varti with suitable media and applied from medial to lateral canthus with various metallic applicator.This leads to controversy in its sterility, stability, utility, therapeutic efficacy, application method, applicator, storage method, etc. In such scenario there is a need of safe and sterile form of medication without compromising pharmaceutical as well as clinical values. Thus this new technique of Anjana preparation checks out the challenging hurdles in Anjana practices. This modified form of Anjana preparation should be equivalent and competent to modern opthalmic preparations.
