Abstract: Pre-macular haemorrhage (PMH) is a condition characterized by bleeding between hyaloid and retina leading to visual impairment. Ayurveda offers extensive treatment protocols for managing such posterior segmental disorders. This case study presents the successful Ayurvedic management of PMH in a 54-year-old female patient who is a known hypertensive. The patient presented with a sudden onset of blurred vision in the right eye and black patches in the vision. After a thorough Ayurvedic assessment, a treatment plan including Netra kriyakalpas and panchakarma procedures was adopted along with oral medications. For one month, the patient experienced significant improvement in visual acuity, and the resolution of the haemorrhage was confirmed by ophthalmological examination and imaging studies. This case highlights the potential of Ayurveda as an effective approach to managing pre-macular haemorrhage.
