Nodular episcleritis is characterized by a discrete, elevated area of inflamed episcleral tissue. In simple episcleritis, vascular congestion is present in the absence of an obvious nodule. The episclera is a fibroelastic structure consisting of two layers loosely joined together. By appearance it looks similar to conjunctivitis, but there is no mucoid discharge. It typically affects young adults. There are many treatments available for nodular episcleritis but all include the use of corticosteroids which on long run produces side effects like posterior subcapsular cataract, glaucoma, allergic conjunctivitis. Development of a treatment protocol devoid of corticosteroids is the need of today`s era. In Ayurveda, the signs and symptoms of episcleritis can be compared with the Lakshanas of Sirajpidaka, described in Shuklagatroga. The present paper discusses a case of Nodular episcleritis management with Ayurvedic principles.
