ABSTRACT Introduction Senile Immature Cataract is a leading cause of blindness, especially among individuals over 40. In Ayurveda, this condition can be correlated with Kaphaja Timira, marked by vision blurring and other visual impairments. While surgical interventions are often recommended for cataract management, the cost and accessibility issues make it imperative to explore alternative treatments. Objectives The primary aim is to compare the efficacy of Vimala Varthi Anjana with and without Vaasadi Ghrita Tarpana in managing Kaphaja Timira (Senile Immature Cataract). The study seeks to evaluate which treatment method yields better clinical outcomes in terms of visual improvement and disease progression. Materials and Methods A randomized clinical trial was conducted with 40 patients diagnosed with Senile Immature Cataracts. Patients were divided into two groups: - Group A: Received Vimala Varthi Anjana along with Vaasadi Ghrita Tarpana. - Group B: Received Vimala Varthi Anjana alone. Both groups were treated for 13 days with a follow-up period of 28 days. The efficacy of treatment was assessed using subjective parameters and objective measures. Results Preliminary observations suggest a significant improvement in both subjective and objective parameters in Group A compared to Group B. Improvement is more prominent in patients receiving combined therapy. Conclusion The combination of Vimala Varthi Anjana and Vaasadi Ghrita Tarpana appears to be more effective in managing Kaphaja Timira (Senile Immature Cataract) compared to Vimala Varthi Anjana alone. These results indicate a promising non-surgical approach for delaying cataract progression, aligning with Ayurveda's holistic health approach. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to confirm these findings.
