Abstract: In Sarvagatha Netra Roga Shushkakshipaka, a disease characterised by Daruna Ruksksha Varthma and Avila Darshanam. In the eyes, Tears are a clear liquid that keeps the eyes wet, smooth, and lubricated, helping to see clearly by focusing light. Eyes are the windows to the soul. Ayurvedic classical texts have mentioned the eye and its diseases since the Vedic and Samhita Kala periods, thus highlighting the importance of the eye and ways to protect it. Dry eye Syndrome is a condition where the tears aren’t able to provide adequate lubrication for the eyes. Shushkakshipaka can be correlated with dry eye syndrome. In dry eye syndrome, the condition is characterised by tears that are unable to provide adequate lubrication for the eyes. Ayurveda offers various Kriyakalpa procedures such as Tarpana, Putpaka, Parisheka, Ashchyotana, Nasya, and Anjana, which can help address the multifactorial nature of Dry Eye Syndrome.
