According to the latest assessment, cataract is responsible for 51%of world blindness, which represents about 20 million people. Cataract is the loss of transparency of the lens in the eye which develops as a result of altered physical and chemical properties in lens. Although cataract can be surgically removed, in many countries barriers exists that prevent patients to access surgery. However due to its high cost, post-operative complications, it necessitates researchers to find out other modalities of treatments for cataract, to breakdown patho- physiology of cataract. Anjana application expels thekapha dosa and does lekhana karma, which have longer tissue contact time than any other topical ocular administration. Eye diseases can be prevented and normal vision can be restored for longer time by following dinacharya and Anjana is one among the dinacharya mentioned by our acharyas also. Anjana types, indications, probable mode of action, and its importance in cataract will be discussed here.
