Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Age Related Macular Degeneration or ARMD is a degenerative disease associated with ageing that affects the macula and causes gradual loss of central vision. It is the leading cause of the vision loss and blindness in developed countries, in population above the age of 40 years. It is caused by hardening of small arteries supplying oxygen and nutrients to the retina which deprives the macula of oxygen and nutrition results in a slow but progressive loss of vision. Modern side provides zinc supplement, antioxidants, vitamins at early stage and laser photo coagulation in later stage but not very effective in reversing the progression of vision loss. Ayurveda can provide a suitable answer with Rasayana and Kriyakalpa and helpful in stoppage of progression of disease. A diagnosed case of Wet ARMD with complaints of ocular pain and diminished vision of left eye since one year approached the out-patient division of the hospital and was managed by Rasayana, Nasya, Tarpan, Takradhara. Significant improvement was noticed in vision after the treatment.Result obtained was encouraging and restricted disease progression was observed.
