Brief Summary   Dry eye syndrome is a multi-factorial disease of the ocular system. It results either from tear deficiency or excessive evaporation of the tear film which makes it unstable, causing ocular surface inflammation. In todays world, use of technology is increasing  and leading to increased screen time which is affecting eyes badly.  Polluted air, dry air , heat , dust etc are favourable for the disease causing increased number of cases of dry eyes. At present there is no permanent cure for dry eye syndrome . Lubricating eye drops are used to reduce the symptoms but prolonged use may develop resistance. Nasya is prescribed line of treatment in Eye diseases. In this study Bhringarajaadi tail nasya is taken for study to check if it can increase the efficacy of carboxymethylcellulose eye drops in dry eye syndrome when given together.
