Hyphema - How it can be treated in Ayurveda?

ABSTRACT

Due to injury or trauma bleeding occurs in the anterior chamber of the eye between the cornea and the iris. This condition is known as Hyphema. Normally eyes contain clear liquid (Aqueous humor) and in the posterior part of the eye is known as ciliary processes. In this article, we are going to discuss hyphema and its ayurvedic treatment.

Hyphema

INTRODUCTION

Hyphema is a painful condition and if left untreated for a longer duration then it may lead to complete loss of vision. This condition is the collection of Red Blood cells inside the anterior chamber of the eye. In some conditions, blood may cover most parts of the eye such as the iris and the pupil. So it hampered vision completely or partially. It may be due to any trauma and Hyphema is going along with increased intraocular pressure. Many people recover from hyphema through home remedies or through prevention in certain time periods. In Ayurveda, there is no such correlation but it can be correlated with Raktaj and Kaphaj vikar. When the Rakt dosha is aggravated along with Kapha then in the Shukla part (sclera) of the eye becomes a reddish appearance of the eye.
