Abstract: Because of urbanisation and pollution, the entire universe is building better systems of therapy and medicine in medical science to treat sickness and maintain health. Shalakya tanta is a branch of Astanga Ayurveda that treats chakshu, nasa, and karna diseases. Shirah, Kantha, and Mukha. Adhimantha is a sarvagata netrarogas illness as explained by Acharya Susaruta and Vagbhatta. It is an Abhishyanda difficulty. Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative condition of the optic nerve that mostly affects the elderly, particularly those over the age of 80. Glaucoma is caused by any injury to the eye, Virudha ahar, or vihar. Glaucoma was characterised in the ancient texts as Adhimanth, which meaning Adhi (Excessive) and Manth (Churning); a situation in which excessive pain in the eye, similar to churning sensation, occurs in this disease. Headache, foreign body sensation, lacrimation, redness of the eye, and trouble seeing are some of the symptoms. In such a case, a study on Adhimantha, its concept, and its care according to Ayurveda becomes critical. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting millions of people. This page discusses the Ayurvedic and modern viewpoints on Adhimantha, as well as therapeutic options.
