Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
The Sushruta Samhita is remarkable in concern with surgery hence Aacharya Sushruta is known as Father of surgery. Among five sections of Sushruta Samhita, SharirSthana deals with anatomical aspects whereas Uttartantra deals with surgery and applied anatomy. The task of tracing back the history of anatomy of eye has been very difficult, as early history of it is quite obscure. In first chapter of Uttartantra Sushruta described gross anatomy and applied anatomy of eye. Apart from this, references regarding anatomy of eye are scattered in all sections of Sushruta Samhita. In this present study we have collected all the references regarding anatomy of eye from Sushruta Samhita and contemporary authors. The logical correlation of terms and concepts from these references with modern ophthalmic anatomy has also derived. It is beneficial for crystal clear understanding of anatomy of eye.
