Kashikar c14.2 - **Language:** English ### [c14.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c14.2) 1. Of the whole eye. Ophthalmia (\*abhiṣyanda\*, frequent even at present) of four kinds which, if neglected, lead to difficult ophthalmia (\*adhimantha\*) with pain as if the eye were torn out and half of the head were crushed, and by wrong treatment causes loss of eyesight within 5-7 days or even earlier. Suppuration of the eye (\*netrapāka\*). There is itch, secretion, dropping, pain and tumour. A particularly painful and incurable form of \*adhimantha\* demolishing the visual faculty is called \*hatādhimantha\*. If \*vāyu\* moves the eyebrows and eyes alternately with violent pain, it is called spasmodic convulsion (\*vātaparyāya\*). The dry irritation of the eye (\*śuṣkākṣipāka\*) or scrofulous ophthalmia (Dutt) is that in which the eye pinches and burns. \*Anyatovāta\* : the \*vāyu\* in the ears, head etc. causes pain in the eyebrows and the eyes. \*Amlādhyuṣita-iritis\*. \*Sirotpāta\*-the veins in the eyes become copper-coloured, with or without pain. If neglected, this develops into \*sirāpraharsa\* whereby one continually drops copper-coloured drops and cannot see. - [Previous: c14.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c14.1) - [Next: c14.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c14.3) - [Up: c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c14.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c14.2) · Pramāṇa
