Summary of article contents:
Introduction - Pinguecula is a benign, common degenerative condition of the conjunctiva. It appears as a yellowishwhite mass on the bulbar conjunctiva. The exact cause of Pinguecula is unknown, however good evidence of the association between increasing age and ultraviolet light exposure has been found. Usually, it is asymptoma tic and causes only cosmetic complains but if it gets inflamed (Pingueculitis), it needs proper attention. Treatment includes Corticosteroids, surgical excision and argon laser photocoagulation. Main Clinical Finding - There was a white elevated mass in the right eye temporally, which was present near the limbus with some congestion. Diagnosis - It was a case of Pinguecula. Interventions - A single case study of inflamed Pinguecula which was corrected with Nagradi Aschyotana, Triphala Kwath Seka andTriphala Guggulu . Outcome - The white elevated mass disappeared, and other symptoms were relieved completely. Conclusions - Topical corticosteroids can only work on the inflammatory condition. Surgery and Argon laser photocoagulation treatment is the option for removal of Pinguecula, which is not affordable for all patients. Ayurvedic treatment can give better results and also it is costeffective. So, an attempt is made to show the result of Ayurvedic treatment in a case of Pinguecula through this article.
