Abstract

Acharya Vagbhat quotes that loss of vision is a loss of life. Vision is our primary connection with this world. With the help of eyes, we can interact with our surroundings in more than a million ways every second. Computer, the knowledge bank of modern life, has emerged as a profession causing vision-related discomfort, ocular fatigue, and systemic effects. Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is the new nomenclature to the visual, ocular, and systemic symptoms arising due to the long time and improper working on the computer and is emerging as a pandemic in the 21st century. Approximately 60 million people suffer from Computer Vision Syndrome globally, which leads to a decrease in productivity at work and Quality of life.  Ayurved being an ancient system of medicine has millions of remedies in it, which is useful for all types of disease, whether it is stated directly or not. Ayurved classics quote that if a physician is not able to get a direct description of the disease in Samhitas, he should not feel guilty about that and should treat the condition based on the involvement of Doshas in it. Hence, here an attempt has been made to provide an explanation of Dosha, Dushya & Samprapti of Computer vision syndrome according to Ayurveda.
