Summary of article contents:
Muco-Purulent conjunctivitis is a contagious disease of the conjunctiva. Furthermore, Acute Muco-Purulent Conjunctivitis is one of the types of bacterial conjunctivitis, which if remain untreated can cause corneal involvement leading to corneal ulceration and may leave a permanent opacity landing the patient with blindness. The established line of treatment includes topical eye drops (Antibacterial, Steroid) instillation along with systemic Anti biotic & Anti inflammatory drugs. However, overuse of these drugs lead to resistance, making them in effective. So the need of alternative medicines arises. In Ayurvedic perspective, due to similarity in clinical features, the disease Pittaj Abhishyanda can be safely compared to Muco-Purulent conjunctivitis. Similarly, Vagbhat has given prime importance to ‘ Ashchyotan therapy’ (topical instillation) in all eye diseases ( netraroga ). Hence, we decided to use & prove efficacy of ‘ Chandanadi Pralepa ’ & ‘ Nimb-Lodhra Aschyotan’ (topical instillation) in the management of Pittaj Abhishyanda w.s.r. to Acute Muco-Purulent Conjunctivitis. The study has shown excellent results in reducing symptoms like Netra daha (burning of eyes), Netra lalima (congestion), Kleda (mucopurulent discharge), Netra toda (pain and foreign body sensation in eye) etc Keywords: Muco-Purulent conjunctivitis, Pittaj Abhishyanda, Ashchyotan karm Lahankar M
