Abstract

Ayurveda is most old terser of medical science where many diseases have been described in details with advance treatment which is gradually achieved by conventional medical science now. Pterygium is a degenerative condition of conjunctiva of unclear aetiology. Although, the successful treatment are available but frequent cases of recurrence occurring. Out of 76 types of Netra Rogas described by Acharya Sushruta, 40 diseases indicated to be cure by surgical and Para-surgical procedure. Arma is a disease having exact similar entities to Pterygium explained in very advance form with absolute medical and surgical treatment to cure and check the recurrence of disease. The types of pterygium mentioned are not explained in conventional science and would be area of research. The technique of surgery and precaution indicated while performing surgery is marvellous. Above it the drugs used after, to remove the remnant part and to check the recurrence in the form of Lekhana Anjana (scarifying agent) are having anti-angiogenic properties to stop the growth of tissue is now the idea to use anti-mitotic drugs (Mitomycin C etc) in conventional science to check the recurrence. The assessment of adequate excision of tissue and post-operative management to mitigate the pain, congestion indicates fines of surgery conducted during those days. Due to lack of understanding or inertness and some hindrances, surgery in Netra roga left behind and not got judicious position. So here it has been try to express the finest skill of eyes surgery in Ayurveda to make main stream of treatment.
