He described 76 Netra Rogas, including 40 diseases which are surgically curable and with elaborative depiction of indications, contra-indications, pre-para-post operatives of Utsangini (Trachoma), Arma (Pterygium), Pakshmakopa (Trichiasis), Lingnasha (Cataract) etc. is practiced in contemporary science with similar concepts that are mentioned by Acharya Sushruta. Till now, there is less work done on Arma Chhedana (Pterygium excision), so this topic has been selected. Aims and Objectives: To study the concepts of Acharya Sushruta and correlate with modern surgical practice of ophthalmology. Materials and Methods: Arma described in Sushruta Samhita with various commentaries and Pterygium with available sources of modern literatures is studied and analyzed. Result: If the root of surgery is traced, Acharya Sushruta is the pioneer of the various surgeries, that can be seen through the comparison of Arma Chhedana with Pterygium excision.
