ABSTRACT

Dry eye syndrome is a very common condition that is characterized by a disturbance of the tear film. Affecting a significant percentage of the population especially aged 40 or above is the persons most likely to be affected by dry eyes[1]. Dry eye syndrome affects any race and more common in women Tears are a combination of water, for moisture; oils, for lubrication; mucus, for even spreading; and antibodies and special proteins, for resistance to infection. These components are secreted by special glands located around the eye. Vatabhisyanda[2]: According to Acharya Sushruta Abhisyanda is main factor for Netra Rogas. It can be correlated with KCS (Sub-acute catarrhal conjunctivitis). It is characterised with hypersensitivity, foreign body sensation, headache, dryness, cold watery discharge. It is considered in Sarvagata Sadhya Vyadhi. Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS), also called Keratitis Sicca, Xerophthalmia or Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) is an eye disease caused by eye dryness, which, in turn, is caused by either decreased tear production or increased tear film evaporation. It is found in humans and some animals. The phrase "Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca" is Latin, and its translation is "dry [inflammation] of the cornea and conjunctiva"[3]. The word “Tarpana” is derived from root word “Trip” which means to become satisfied. Thus the word Tarpana means anything which satisfies regenerates or rejuvenates. It has generally got the senses. The first one is oblation to four fathers and second one is the action of supplying strength to the eye when it becomes dry and weak. On the other way Tarpana means also Santarpana, by mean of which the body tissue grow, find strength and become strong. Here, in this study main concern was with second variety of Tarpana by means of which the eye shed their weakness and attains better sight. We have tried to observe the role of Tarpan Karma in dry eye syndrome in present clinical study in Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca. The Tarpan Karma with Jivantiyadi Ghritta has been selected as trail drugs and conventional treatment i.e. Artificial tears was selected as a control drug in this present research work for evaluating their roles in the management of a series of patients of dry eyes who were selected on the basis of specialised Performa prepared for this purpose.

Keywords: Dry eye syndrome, Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (Vatabhisyand), Jivantiyadi Ghritta, Tarpan Karma Fluorescin and Rose Bengal Staining.
