Abstract

Corneal ectasia is a disorder that results in thinning of the central, paracentral, or peripheral cornea that leads to progressive myopia and irregular astigmatism. Keratoconus, Pellucid marginal corneal degeneration (PMCD), Terrien's marginal degeneration (TMD), Keratoglobus, Posterior keratoconus are the conditions/types of corneal ectatia. In Ayurveda there is no direct reference of corneal ectasia, based on signs and symptoms it can be correlated with Vataja Timira. Timira is the Drustigata Roga which further leads to Linganasha if not treated initially. Based on symptoms and Dosha-Dushya involvement Brhumhana and Vatahara line of treatment should be followed in the form of Virechana, Nasya, Tarpana, Putapaka and Pindi. These treatment modalities are more beneficial in corneal ectasia.
