In ancient India, the practice of ophthalmology was closely linked to the practice of Ayurvedic medicine. Ophthalmologists were known as "Chakshushya," which means "belonging to the eye." The training of Chakshushya involved a long period of apprenticeship under a skilled practitioner, and included the study of anatomy, physiology, and the use of various herbal remedies.
