Retinitis Pigmentosa - An Ayurvedic View
Abstract
Retinitis Pigmentosa is a genetically determined dystrophy of the retina, almost invariably occurring in both the eyes. Beginning in childhood and often resulting in blindness in middle or advanced age. Night blindness is also one of the features of retinitis pigmentosa, Naktandya is seen in Kapha Vidagda Drishti, Nakulandya, Hriswajadya and Doshandya. The age of onset, rate of progression, eventual visual loss and associated ocular features are frequently related to the mode of inheritance. RP may occur as an isolated sporadic disorder, inherited as autosomal dominant (AD), autosomal recessive (AR), or X-linked. Retinitis Pigmentosa should be considered as Triteeya Patalagata Roga. The involved Dosha is Vata Pradhana Tridosha. Sodhana Karma and Kriyakalpas judiciously used not only improve the circulation but also provide micronutrients to the retina there by preventing the deterioration of retina.
