It is a Bala Netrarog linked to photophobia and ocular weakening. The most prevalent eye condition affecting infants is kukunaka, associated with neonatal conjunctivitis or Ophthalmia neonatorum. Local irritation, microorganisms, and the herpes simplex virus are the main causes of inflammation. It happens due to postpartum difficulties or infections and maternal infections during labor and delivery. Because of an allergic reaction, the child keeps rubbing their forehead, eyes, nose, and throat. This condition is characterized by watering and purulent discharge from both eyes and keratitis or uveitis may also be present. A neonate with neonatal conjunctivitis or ophthalmia neonatorum would have an inflamed conjunctiva. This review paper aims to review the management of Kukunaka from classical texts of Ayurveda.
