Abstract

Visual disturbances are described in Ayurveda under the terms TimiraKacha, and Linganasha. Timira is an eye ailment that begins with  Avyaktya Darshana and progresses to total vision loss. Timira has no  independent etiological variables at the eye. Timira is characterized by  Sushruta as Ghora Roga, which causes visual disturbances due to the  accumulation of Doshas in various Patalas of the eye. Timira is a disorder  of the Drusti Mandala that begins with impaired vision and progresses to  full blindness if left untreated. The entire globe is looking at alternate  medical systems to avoid surgical problems, as well as preventative  ophthalmology to improve and retain eyesight. In this situation, having a  thorough understanding of the Timira is critical for appropriate  management of the illness. While considering the sign and symptoms it  can be correlated with Cataract, Myopia, Keratoconus etc. regarding  similarity with modern; different author has different opinions. A review  of Timira from several sources has been compiled here, with a focus on  cataract and myopia.
