The entire world is looking at the other systems of medicine to tackle the situation and looking upon preventive ophthalmology for improving and maintaining vision. In such a scenario, a study on Glaucoma and its concept and management according to Ayurveda gains much importance. Ancient Indian traditional medicine is very rich and diverse. It is full of different formulations based on practical experiences. The concepts of Glaucoma, which have recently dawned are having striking similarities with those held in Adhimantha as per Ayurveda. Adhimantha is a dreadful disease with its cardinal feature as severe, excruciating pain in the eye associated with headache, progressive reduction in vision in short duration and severe congestion which can easily be correlated with the symptoms of Glaucoma. An objective of this review is to establish a certain terminology to the disease in modern science with references.
