Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Akṣivyādhi (अक्षिव्याधि) refers to “diseases affecting the eyes”, as mentioned in verse 5.40 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “Frenzy, epilepsy, stupor, (and) diseases affecting the head, ears, eyes [viz., akṣivyādhi], and womb destroys old ghee [viz., purāṇaghṛta]; it is purificatory and curative of wounds”.
Note: The phrase [śiraḥkarṇākṣiyonijān... vyādhīn]—“diseases affecting the head, ears, eyes, and -womb” has been split into two parts: klad-nad (“head-diseases”) and rna mig mnal[?]-nad (“ear-, eye-, and womb-diseases”). Instead of rna (“ear”) P2 reads sna (“nose”).
