ABSTRACT

Eyes are gateways of external world, visual defects tantamount to the obliteration of the world. Among all eye diseases, Timira is considered as Paramdaruna Vyadhi, causing difficulty in vision. It is categorized under Drishtigata Rogas. When vitiated Doshas are localized in Prathama Patala of eye, the disorder is known as Prathama Patalagata Timira, sign and symptoms of which correlates it with simple myopia in modern parlance. Myopia (near sightedness) is an ocular disorder in which the optical power of the eye is too strong for the corresponding axial length. Myopia has become increasingly common over the past 50 years. Considering the requirement for developing some Ayurvedic formulation for management of Prathama Patalgata Timira/ Simple Myopia, the present research work entitled “A Comparative Clinical Study to Evaluate Efficacy of Tarpana with Triphala Ghrita and Chakshushya Compound in Management of Prathama Patalgata Timira w.s.r. To Simple Myopia”, was undertaken. 30 clinically diagnosed patients of Prathama Patalgata Timira/simple myopia were randomly selected from OPD/IPD of Rishikul Campus, Haridwar and were divided into two groups of 15 patients each. In Group A oral administration of Chakshusya compound for 28 days and in Group B Tarpana with Triphala Ghrita was givenfor a duration of 28 Days i.e 2 Sittings of Tarpana for alternate 7 days. On completion of study, the statistical analysis of results was done by adopting Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann Whitney U test. Trial concluded that all assessment parameters improved significantly except visual acuity and diopteric power in Group A where no significant result was found. No significant adverse effects were observed in both groups. It can be concluded that Tarpana with Triphala Ghrita is more efficient in management of Prathama Patalgata Timira in comparison to Chakshusya compound.
