Differential Diagnosis of Red Eye: An Integrative Approach from Ayurvedic and Modern Perspective
Abstract
Red eye is a prevalent clinical presentation in ophthalmology, encompassing a broad spectrum of underlying aetiologies. This abstract delineates the differential diagnosis of red eye based on distinct clinical features. This article explores the Ayurvedic perspective on bloodshot eyes, highlighting the intricate relationship between ocular health and the balance of Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and Rakta (blood). Drawing from classical texts such as the Sushruta Samhita, various conditions associated with red eyes are examined, including Shukalgata, Krishangata, and Sarvagata Rogas. The differential diagnoses encompass conditions like Prastari Arma, Lohita Arma, and Rakta Abhishyanda and Adhimanta among others, detailing their unique presentations and implications. Furthermore, the modern understanding of red eye conditions is summarized, showcasing parallels with Ayurvedic diagnoses. By integrating both perspectives, this article emphasizes the need for a holistic approach in treating ocular ailments, where Ayurvedic principles can complement contemporary medical practices. This synthesis not only enriches the understanding of red eye etiology but also guides therapeutic strategies in clinical practice.
