Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 9

Abstract

Visual impairment is a significant health problem. One of the major cause of legal blindness in the world is Diabetic retinopathy. In Ayurveda there is no direct reference about diabetic retinopathy however it can be taken in terms of alterations in the mechanism of Dhatu Parinamakriya (metabolism) that leads to combinations of various symptoms. The Poshaka Dhatus is supplied by Rasa-Rakta Dhatus through various Srotas to various organs of the body. The vitiated Doshas get Sthana Samsraya in Netra and lead to various pathological processes and the pathology can be given name as Pramehajanya Netra Vyadhi or diabetic retinopathy.
