What is scleritis? Causes, Symptoms & Treatment with Ayurveda

Abstract

Witnessing the creation of this beautiful world is only possible with a healthy pair of eyes. Eyes are the sense organ through which we see the environment. Some of the constituents of the eye are cornea, sclera pupil, etc. All these components should be in a normal state for the eyes to function properly. There can be several disorders that can affect the eyes negatively and can cause vision difficulties. Scleritis is one such abnormality. What is scleritis? What is its ayurvedic perspective? The answers are detailed in this following article.

Scleritis

Introduction

As mentioned earlier, the eye contains various parts such as the cornea, iris, pupil, sclera, etc. The white part of the eye is known as sclera and it plays a vital role in normal functioning of the eye. Most importantly, it protects and maintains the eye ball shape. The inflammation of the sclera of the eye is known as Scleritis. The characteristic feature of scleritis presents is the pain and redness of the eye with or without vision loss. Depending on the region affected, Scleritis is classified into two types named as- Anterior Scleritis and Posterior Scleritis, described as follows-

  1. Anterior Scleritis –In this type of scleritis, inflammation occurs in the anterior portion of sclera. Further, it can be subdivided into necrotizing, diffuse, and nodular. The most severe one is the necrotizing form as it causes extreme pain and severe tenderness.
  2. Posterior Scleritis –As the name suggests, inflammation in this type of Scleritis affects the posterior portion of the sclera. This can worsen and lead to other consequences for instance retinal detachment, folds of choroid, etc.

Ayurvedic Aspect

Eye disorders are grouped under the category of netraroga in ayurveda. Acharya Sushruta mentions 76 types of netraroga. One such netraroga is sirajala. This disease is known to exhibit very similar features as that of scleritis. In ayurveda, sirajala is known to affect the Shukla bhag i.e. the white part of the eye. The white part of the eye is covered with web-like reddish lines. Sirajalaisa results from dushti or abnormal levels of the rakta dosha in the body. The line of treatment will target the rakta dosha in the body. Sirajal is considered to be ashastrakritai.e. shastra or invasive treatments can not be done. That implies, sirajala needs to be treated through rakta pacifying herbal formulations. There arevarious ayurvedic formulations available to balance the vitiated rakta dosha and improve scleritis will be described as follows.
