Ancient view of cataract in relevance to modern science
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Reserach - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Cataracts are the leading cause of curable blindness, till date there is no medicine claimed to have the capacity to dissolve the cataractous lens. The researches either to delay the onset or to prevent the progress of cataracts deserve great attention as the goal of WHO is to achieve 0.3% reduction of prevalence rate of blindness by the year 2020, and cataract takes 62.6% of total cause of blindness as per national survey conducted 2001-2002 by WHO & NPCB. Ayurveda promises the cure of the initial stage of the pathology of any type of visual failure through internal & external medications and by eye care. The very scientific approach of Ayurveda in explaining the diseases of drishti, its classification, prognosis and treatments can contribute a great deal in this regard.
