        abstract = {Corneal ulcer is a leading cause of corneal blindness worldwide, resulting primarily from microbial infections, trauma, and ocular surface disorders. Despite advances in antimicrobial therapy and surgical management, delayed healing and post-inflammatory corneal opacity remain major challenges. Ayurveda, under the branch of Shalakya Tantra, describes corneal disorders under Krishnagata Roga. Corneal ulcer can be correlated with Savrana Shukra or Kshata Shukra, as described by Sushruta and Vagbhata. The classical features include piercing pain, loss of corneal transparency, reddish discoloration, profuse warm lacrimation, and ulceration over the corneal surface. Prognosis varies depending on site, depth, and associated complications. Ayurvedic management emphasizes Shodhana (cleansing), Ropana (healing), and Shothahara (anti-inflammatory) therapies. Jatyadi Ghrita, a polyherbal medicated ghee mentioned in Bhaishajya Ratnavali, is widely indicated in ulcers and chronic wounds. Its constituents possess antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties, while the ghrita base enhances ocular tissue penetration and prevents secondary scarring. Evidence from experimental and clinical studies supports the efficacy of Jatyadi Ghrita in wound healing and corneal epithelial regeneration. This article reviews both modern and Ayurvedic perspectives of corneal ulcer and highlights the therapeutic role of Jatyadi Ghrita as a potential adjuvant in corneal ulcer management.},
