简要总结
Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. It is also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) characterised by inflammation of the ocular surface and lacrimal glands. The symptoms include dryness of eyes, foreign body sensation, photophobia and redness.The present line of management of dry eye is regular use of lubricant eye drops/artificial tear which provides only symptomatic relief for short period. Shushkakshipaka is a similar disease explained in sarvakshigata roga. In the initial phase it is a vata predominant disease with pittanubandha. But if not properly managed it can lead to pittakopa causing paka of ocular tissue.Ayurveda envisage definite treatment for such clinical conditions. The general management of shushkakshipaka includes snehapana, nasya, seka, ashchyotana, tarpana etc. An attempt is made here to evaluate the efficacy of durva ghrita ashchyotana, ksheerabala taila 21Apratimarsha nasya along with shatavaryadi churna as oral medicine in the management of shushkakshipaka(dry eye syndrome). A study was conducted in ITRA, Jamnagar with shunthyadi ashchyotana, anutaila pratimarsha nasya and triphaladi yoga as oral medication in the management of shushkakshipaka(dry eye syndrome)which was found to be effective. Hence this protocol is taken as standard control in the study.
