*Dr. Pritika Dhuria, Dr. Aditi and Dr. Lokesh Kumar

ABSTRACT

Eye has been explained in Ayurvedic texts among Panchgyanendriya which perform the function of sight(vision). Acharya Vagbhatta stated that all human beings should always indulge in protecting their eyes until they wish to live. All the valuables of this world are useless if one is deprived of vision, as his day and night would only be dark.[1] Drishti has been explained by Acharya Sushruta which perform the function of sight (vision). He explained the word drishti very accurately in his treatise Sushruta Samhita. Drishti is very controversial word in Shalakya Tantra because a lot of meanings of Drishti have been given in Sushruta Samhita. It consists of all the essential dhatus of internal eye ball. Beside being an anatomical structure it performs many functions. But drishti can be simply called as functional unit of eye which performs vision.
