I have gone through this excellent treatise "NETRAROGA VIGNANAM" writ-ten by my learned friends Dr.K.Nishteswar and Dr.R.Vidyanath. It is a pleasure to go through this book. They have brought out an introductory chapter containing the historical review from Vedic literature through Samhitas to Buddha and Jaina literature. It is quite interesting to know that Acharyas given many names as (Paryayavachaka) syn-onyms for eye like Akshi, Netra,Nayanam, Chakshush,Darshanendriya,Nimi, Nimisha, Lochana etc. Though they are synonyms, each one has got a specific meaning incorpo-rated or ingrained into the Shabda. Basically eye is a neurobiological organ structured for sensitivity to light. It is a specialized organ to receive the solar light reflected from the various animate and inanimate articles of the planet. That's what has been described in Vachaspatyam out of the five sensory organs it is the middle one and it provides vishaya grahakatvam. It is necessitated to come into existence because of solar light. It is also interesting to know that Gods wanted to make the king Nimi to return to his mortal body, but he requested the Gods to make him the organ of eye in all living beings to see the world forever. It is true that in some of the invertebrates such as insects and crustaceans have optically active spots throughout the body, which are given the name of Ommatida. They are tiny independent photoreceptor units. The authors have done an extreme exercise in balancing the rich ancient knowledge of Samhitas with those principles of modern ophthalmology. They have also mentioned about the bio-chemistry of ageing of lens into cataract. The classification of eye diseases by Acharya Sushruta in Uttara tantra into seventy six categories is well brought out. The relevance of infection in eye diseases and their treatments not only highlights but also well correlates with abhishyanda, suggesting control of mucous secretion. Bacteria flourish in nutrient media such as mucous. This treatise is considered by me as an important referral source for research workers. A number of herbal drugs and natural products are mentioned for minimizing mucoid expression so that incidence of bacterial infections in specific sites of the uveal tract are reduced.
