        abstract = {Shalakya Tantrais one of the eight specialties of Ashtanga Ayurvedawhich deals with diseases occur above the  clavicle  specially  related  to  the  sensory  organs.  Eyes  hold  special  status  among  all  the  sense  organs because  good  vision  is  crucial  for  social  and  intellectual  development  of  human  beings.  Hence  authentic classics prescribed several preventive and curative measures for the management of ophthalmic disorders. Among them, topical treatments are very unique, effective in the management of eye diseases and are called “Netra Kriyakalpa”. Netra Kriyakalpahave very fastaction on the target tissues of eye. Anjanais a medicinal preparation which is applied on the lower palpebral conjunctiva or the cul-de-sac.Its active principles may be  transferred  to  the  interior  of  the  eye  according  to  their  hydrophilicity  and  lipophilicitymainly  through the  conjunctiva  and  cornea  by  paracellular  and  transcelullar  pathways  respectively.pH,  viscosity,  tonicity, molecular  size  and  molecular  weight  of the  active  ingredients  are  highly  responsible  for  the  absorption  of Anjana. According to its form Anjana is of 3 types i.e. Gutika, Rasakriyaand Churna. Gutikaand Churnatypes of Anjanacan be correlated with ophthalmic suspensions and Rasakriyatype is with aqueous solutions/eye drops. Gutikaand Curna Anjanahave micro particles which may be deposited in the cul-de-sas and thereby increase  the  bioavailability  to  enhance  ocular  absorption. Anjanatherapy  may  be  highly  beneficial  in  the anterior  segment  disorders  because  of  the  presence  of  several  anatomical,  biological  and  physiological ocular barriers. However it gives better results on the posterior segment disorders also.},
