Ayurveda has a special idea known as the Tridosha concept. The three main pillars of the human body are known as the Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). Tridosha regulates the physiological and voluntary functions of bodily motions and helps to keep the body in a balanced and healthy state. Pitta is in charge of generating heat, controlling body temperature, and influencing vision. Pittas come in five different varieties: Ranjaka, Pachaka, Alochaka, Sadhaka, and Bhrajaka. "Alochaka Pitta" refers to the Pitta that governs vision. Alochaka Pitta's seat is known as "Drishti." This physiology of vision has been defined by Ayurveda using the characteristics of Vata and Pitta. Rhodopsin, iodopsin, and melanin, the pigments of the retina, stand in for Alochaka Pitta. The retina's rods and cones are what enable colour vision, shape perception, and the perception of brilliant images. This review article describes the location, purpose, and contemporary connections between the Alochak Pitta and the physiology of vision.
