Brief Summary   Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial disease of the ocular system. It is a result of unstable tear film, causing ocular surface inflammation and damage. At present, there is no cure for Dry Eye Syndrome. Lubricating eye drops are used to reduce the symptoms but after prolonged use may develop resistance. Ayurveda has described shushkakshipaka which can be considered as  a correlation of dry eye syndrome. The Anjana  that will be used in this study is said to be Prasadajanak i.e. providing lubrication to the eye.
Literature include anjanakarma. Drugs have chakshushya property along with vata shamana.
