Shalakya Tantra, the potent branch of Ayurveda which deals with the Urdhwajatrugata-vikaras, gives prime importance to eye diseases1. As far as sense organs are concerned Eye stays at the top due to its irreplaceable function. Hence to treat eye disease and preserve the vision, one should always work on priority. Netra is said to be the Pradhana Indriya and to protect the eye sight should be the prime objective. One should make all sincere efforts to protect eyes and treat eye diseases. Sushruta has mentioned 76 eye diseases out of which treatable diseases are treated with systemic as well as local treatment. Kriyakalpas are one group of special methods of drug administered locally into the eye for the treatment of eye diseases2. Being local therapeutic procedure, fast action and penetration of drugs through ocular tissue raises importance of Kriyakalpa in ocular diseases. Bidalaka is one of the important Kriyakalpa explained in ayurvedic texts, which is having a vivid utility in many Netra Rogas. Bidalaka is used in condition of Daha (burning sensation), Updeha(stickiness), Ashrusrava(watering), Shopha(oedema) & Raga(congestion) in the eyes3. The probable mode of action of Bidalaka Kriyakalpas are yet to be explored. In this era of escalating of eye diseases, such an attempt is highly essential to uphold the scientific credibility of Bidalaka.
