Abstract Background: Acharya Sushruta has mentioned Timira as a Drishtigata Roga affecting the Patala.

When it occurs in the Dwitiya Patala, there are complaints of “Vihwala Darshana” can be correlated with confused visual perception and seeing false image. According to the dominancy of Dosha among all the vitiated Doshas when reach to the Prathama and Dwitiya Patala; it causes Vataja-Pittaja-Kaphaja-Raktaja-Sannipataja Timira accordingly. Rupa of Doshika Timira occurs according to vitiated Dosha in Sansthan. According to Acharya Sushruta, Prathama Patalagata Timira is Sadhya (curable) and Dwitiya Patalagata Timira is Krichchhasadhya (curable with difficulty).

In modern science, Timira can be co-related with clinical findings of Simple Myopia. Also called physiological myopia. simple myopia is the commonest variety. Various surveys in India have found myopia prevalence ranging from 6.9% to 19.7%. Corrective lenses are just providing an aid to diminished vision.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of Akshitarpana and Pana of Mahatriphaladi Ghrita in the management of Timira (Simple Myopia).

Material and Methods: Total 40 patients on the basis of signs and symptoms of the disease Timira (Simple Myopia) were registered and were randomly allocated into two groups adopting computerised randomisation technique as follows with Group A (n = 20): Pana and Akshitarpana with Mahatriphaladi Ghrita and Group B (n = 20): Akshitarpana with Mahatriphaladi Ghrita.

Results: Group A shows better percentage of relief in Durastha Avyakta Darshana i.e., 70.31% in comparison to Group B i.e., 32%. Group A shows better percentage of relief in Vihwala Darshana i.e., 76.92% in comparison to Group B i.e., 33.33%. Group A shows 83.31% relief in Shiroabhitapa and 90% relief in Netrasrava in compare to Group B. The comparative data was statistically insignificant (p > 0.05) in chief complain while statistically significant (p < 0.05) in associated complain.

Conclusion: Mahatriphaladi Ghrita Pana along with Mahatriphaladi Ghrita Akshitarpana is more effective than Mahatriphaladi Ghrita Akshitarpana alone in Simple Myopia.
