Abstract
Arma is a disease of Shuklamandala of eyes in which a wing like growth develops gradually from either Kaneenika Sandhi (inner canthus) or Apanga Sandhi (outer canthus) towards the cornea. It can be correlated to Pterygium in modern science. Pterygium is more commonly found in people residing tropical and subtropical area. Due to the geographic location and climatic conditions pterygium is a common ocular disorder in India. Arma is Chhedan Sadhya Vyadhi. However in the initial stages of the disease ancient authors had advised application of Lekhana Anjana i.e. to cure the disease without Shalya Karma with the help of medicine only. In present trial 20 patients of Arma were selected and administered Vyoshadi varti as anjana. A significant relief was found in various sign and symptoms of Arma (pterygium).
