ABSTRACT

Ayurvedic diagnosis comprises two main components: Rogapariksha and Rogipariksha. Rogapariksha offers comprehensive insights into a disease, encompassing its origins, progression, and symptoms. The five essential elements of Rogapariksha, collectively known as Nidana Panchakas, include Nidana, Purvarupa, Rupa, Samprapti, and Upashaya. Nidana, as the primary component, not only identifies causative factors but also guides treatment by preventing their occurrence. Among the sensory organs, the eyes (Netra) hold significant importance (Pradhana), necessitating special care and attention for their protection. Understanding the potency of causative factors for eye diseases is crucial for effective treatment and maintaining optimal vision. Stress is acknowledged as the foremost contributor to various diseases today. It serves as the underlying cause for over 60% of all human illnesses. In the current era of fast food, irregular eating schedules, evolving dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, and mental stress, these factors induce pathological changes in Alochaka pitta, Prana vata, Tarpaka kapha, ultimately affecting the eyes and leading to netra vikaar (eye disorders). This exploration seeks to delve into the role of mental states (manasika bhava) in causing Netragat vikara, analyzing the pertinent causative factors associated with psychological aspects influencing eye diseases accordingly.
