AbstractPrathamapatalagataTimira is one among the stages of Timira described under Drishtigata Rogashaving the chief symptom of avyaktadarshana. It can be correlated with Simple Myopia or short sightedness which is a variety of refractive error producing blurred vision for distance and may or may not be associated with asthenopic symptoms. If appropriate treatment is not done in this stage it progresses further and may lead to blindness. In modern ophthalmology it is managed with the use of refractive aids and surgeries for improving the quality of vision with limited scope in curtailing the rogression of the disease. In this regard this study is been taken up to evaluate the effect of Tarpana with Bhaskaradi Ghritaonce a day for 5 days followed by a gap of 7 days after the procedure. Later tarpana was resumed for another 5 days. Similarly this procedure was repeated for 3rd and 4th sittings with total period of 48days. Pre and post treatment assessment of the patient was carried out with the subjective parameters like avyaktadarshana, headache, eyestrain, watering of eyes and objective parameter like Visual Acuity with Snellen’s Chart. These were suitably graded to assess the results that were statistically analyzed and it showed significant results.
