Ophtalmic Remedi Homeopathy
Ophtalmic Remedi Homeopathy
[Bell]
Belladonna is, perhaps, the most frequently indicated remedy in eye troubles. It is
suitable to ophthalmias where there is great inflammation, dry, injected eyes, a total
absence of lachrymation; in fact, the intensity and violence of its symptoms are its
leading indications. In the early stage of acute conjunctivitis, iritis or retinitis, with
sudden violent spasms and great intolerance of light and iritis, will call for Belladonna,
and here its photophobia will distinguish it from Aconite.
It is also useful in affections of the eyes from overuse or from use in poor light. It
corresponds to iritis of traumatic origin, retinal congestion and retinitis, recent and acute,
with bright sparks before the eyes. It is a remedy, along with Lachesis and Crotalus, in
retinal haemorrhage. Aconite is to be preferred in the beginning of a conjunctivitis, or in
fact any acute inflammation of the eye, when of traumatic origin, as from a foreign body,
the eyes feel full of sand, there is photophobia and painful inflammation of the eyes from
exposure to cold, or from the action of acrid substances in the eyes, as from wounds or
burns. It is also the first remedy in other forms of conjunctivitis. Glaucoma; here also
Opium should be consulted in this affection, as it gives us a very suggestive picture of
glaucoma, as does also Cocaine muriate. Spigelia has violent, sharp-cutting eye pains, but
it lacks the congestion of Belladonna. It has a sensation that the eyeballs feel too large,
which is also found under Paris quadrifolia, which is a valuable remedy in certain forms
of asthenopia with inability to fix the eyes on anything steadily; it has, too, the peculiar
symptoms of a sensation as if a string were drawing the eye back into the head, as if the
optic nerve were too short. It is of more use than any other remedy for the sharp shooting
and sticking pains accompanying glaucoma. They are worse at night and on motion
Glonoine has protrusion of the eyes and troubles from exposure to bright light, heat,
argand burners,etc., producing a retinal congestion. The elements of Belladonna are: 1.
Suddenness and acuteness of symptoms. 2. Great intolerance of light.
#Rhus
toxicodendron.
[Rhus-t]
One of our most important ophthalmic remedies, and oedematous swellings, redness and
acrid discharges mark the drug. It corresponds to chemosis and produces a great tendency
to the formation of pus. It is of great use in scrofulous ophthalmias and is also specific in
orbital cellulitis with great intolerance of light, so much so that the eyes cannot be opened
even at night. The ears are hot and scalding and cause pimples on the parts bathed in
them. A gush of tears on separating the lids is a trustworthy indication. The secretion is
rather scanty and there is much pain in the eyes and often spasmodic closure of the lids. It
corresponds to conjunctivitis from getting wet, rheumatic iritis, with pain shooting from
eyes into head, worse at night and in damp weather. Rheumatic ptosis calls for Rhus.
Causticum, Gelsemium and Kalmia have stiffness of the lids. Rhus is of marked use in
suppurative iritis and is often beneficial after cataract extraction to control threatened
iritis and formation of pus. Apis has oedema of the conjunctiva, and may be a useful
remedy in asthenopia, staphyloma and in strumous ophthalmias. Nux and Sepia have
drooping lids and Terebinth and Thuja have a useful in iritis.
#Mercurius.
[Merc]
The various preparation of mercury are of a paramount use in eye affections. Mercurius is
of use where the general catarrhal symptoms are prominent. Blepharitis and conjunctivitis
from cold or in those who work about fires as in foundry men; the pains are worse at
night, the lids are thickened, the eyes discharge a thin muco-pus, making the cheeks sore
and pimply; superficial ulcers appear on the cornea with a tendency to spread. It is one of
our most important remedies in ophthalmias neonatorum, especially if due to syphilis. No
form of iritis has been noticed in workers of mercury, and though the drug has been
prescribed with success in syphilitic iritis, another preparation of mercury, Mercurius
corrosivus is almost specific. Therefore, do not give Mercurius in iritis; it is an allopathic
legacy of no value. Mercurius has also been found useful in styes, glandular affections
and rheumatic troubles of the eyes. Where the glandular swellings are excessive
Mercurius biniodide may be chosen; Mercurius protoiodide is especially of use in corneal
ulcers. Deady regards this remedy as our best in this affection; the ulcerated surface looks
as if it had been chipped out by the finger nail, and there is accompanying a yellowcoated tongue and a tendency to a rapid extension of the ulceration. Mercurius dulcis also
a remedy for eye troubles in scrofulous children. Mercurius corrosivus. This remedy is
marked by violent symptoms, burning, agonizing pains, profuse excoriating
lachrymation, which takes the skin off from cheeks, tearing pains in the bones of the
orbit, ulcers of cornea with tendency to perforation. If there is any best remedy for iritis
it is Mercurius corrosivus. It is almost a specific for simple and syphilitic iritis,
accompanied with pains in the eyes, extending over the top of the head. The exudation is
rather serous than plastic. Retinitis Albuminuria also finds a remedy in Mercurius
corrosivus. Jaborandi is an excellent internal remedy in iritis; it allays inflammation,
controls spasms of the muscles and will absorb adhesions. Cinnabaris has inflammation
and pain in the eyes and its indicating symptom is pain going from one canthus around
the eyebrow to the other. Kali bichromicum is a prominent remedy for ulceration of the
cornea where there is a tendency to perforate, especially in the circumscribed ulcers with
clear cut edges, as if cut out with a punch. It is indicated by indolent inflammation,
swollen and agglutinated lids in the morning, little photophobia, the indolence is marked,
eyes not very red; in fact, there is with this remedy an absence of inflammatory redness
and proportionate absence of photophobia. It is use in catarrhal and strumous ophthalmias
with tendency to granulation. Clematis follows Mercurius corrosivus well in iritis, and
Hughes speaks highly of it in the syphilitic variety. Great sensitiveness to cold is one of
its leading indications of the iris from cold, with pressing pain, great photophobia,
lachrymation and heat in the eyes, with the sensitiveness to cold air. The eyes are so
sensitive to the air that the patient covers them. It is closely allied to Rhus toxicodendron
in its action. Buffum claims Gelsemium to be the most valuable remedy for the serous
variety of iritis.
Ferrum
phosphoricum.
[Ferr-p]
The tissue remedies have taken an important place in the therapeutics of eye affections.
Two or three of them have proved themselves almost indispensable, thus, Ferrum
phosphoricum is especially useful in acute catarrhal troubles in their early stages
accompanied by the burning sensation, aggravated by motion, and red, congested,
[Gels]
[Bry]
Bryonia may be though of in rheumatism of the eyes, with violent pains shooting through
the eyeball into the back of the head or up towards the vertex; worse by moving the eyes.
In rheumatic iritis it is the first remedy to be thought of , and it is quite as useful in
syphilitic; in fact, in any form of iritis; the pains are sharp shooting in character,extending
into the head and face, moving or exciting the eye aggravates the pain. A sensation as if
the eyes were being forced out of the socket is also found under Bryonia. It comes in after
Aconite or Ferrum phosphoricum, which are the remedies for the first stage, especially
for the sudden variety with burning and dryness. Terebinth has rheumatic iritis with
intense pains in the eyes and head, and the urinary symptoms are perhaps present. Arnica
is a useful remedy in rheumatic iritis,but it corresponds especially to the traumatic form;
here Hamamelis should be thought of, especially if there be haemorrhage into the iris or
anterior chamber. Bryonia may be found useful in glaucoma. There is an increased
tension of the eyeballs, lachrymation and photophobia. The eyeballs are sore; it is no
useful when the external coats of the eyes are involved. Phosphorus has hyperaemia of
the choroid and retina, hence is useful in retinitis pigmentosa and Albuminuria; the
symptom that objects look red leads to its consideration; also amblyopia and asthenopia
are benefited by Phosphorus. Cataract; also Silicea, Conium, Natrum muriaticum,
Magnesia carbonica and Causticum are used here. It is useful in glaucoma beginning with
recurrent neuralgic attacks; it will diminish the pain and check the degeneration. Conium.
The characteristic of this remedy in scrofulous ophthalmias is the intense photophobia,
which is all out of proportion to the degree of inflammation, for little or no redness is
present. This is due to an increased irritability of the nerves of the eye. Tears gush out on
opening eyes. Dr. Talbot, of Boston, reports success with this remedy in cataract. It has
many symptoms similar to acute cataract. Dr. Dudgeon thinks it useful in premature
presbyopia, but of little use in adult presbyopia. Zincum has proved of service in
pterygium with smarting stinging at the inner canthus and in opacities of the cornea
following long-lasting attacks of inflammation. Ratanhia has also cured pterygium in
both man and animals. In the provings is a sensation of a membrane growing over the
eye. It is worthy of a careful trial. Casticum has a well-established reputation of checking
acute cataract. Dr.A.B. Norton found it the most useful remedy.
Pulsatilla.
[Puls]
The general symptoms of the drug will guide to Pulsatilla as much as the local. As a
remedy for styes it has no equal; it causes them to abort before pus has performed.
Pulsatilla has a special affinity for the lids, inflaming them and increasing the Meibomian
secretion agglutinates them. Twitching of the eyelids with dazzling sight. Conjunctivitis
from cold or accompanying measles. Catarrhal ophthalmias, especially of the lids, with
agglutination in the morning, profuse lachrymation and secretion of mucus worse
evenings, especially call for this remedy. The mucus is thick, bland, profuse, yellow or
yellowish green and more abundant in the open air. Ophthalmias neonatorum; too
exclusive a reliance should not be placed on it here. In its action on the eye it resembles
Argentum nitricum; it reinforces the action of this remedy, stirs it up, spurs it on.
Pulsatilla is especially serviceable for the mild, passive, lymphatic temperature and
locally profuse, thick, bland discharges and not much pain or photophobia. Argentum
nitricum also has the profuse purulent discharge and swollen lids, swollen from being
distended by a collection of pus in the eye. It corresponds well to very old cases of
blepharitis with thick crusts, worse from heat of fire; after measles also. Granular
conjunctivitis, with profuse mucopurulent discharge. Asthenopia form want of
accommodation. Purulent ophthalmias. Aurum metallicum. Vilas states that care should
be taken not to give this remedy too low. Opacities and ulcers on the cornea with great
congestion. It is more useful in the trachomatous form of conjunctivitis than is Pulsatilla.
Glaucoma.
Scrofulous
opthalmias;
great
vascularity is
characteristic,
profuse
lachrymation; sensitive eyes. Syphilitic iritis with soreness of the bones; also Asafoetida,
which has burning pains above the eyebrows. It is a wonderful remedy in iritis. There is
much retinal congestion, with relief from heat and half sightedness, the upper half of
objects being visible. Muriatic acid has one lateral half cut off; also, Lithium carbonicum
and Lycopodium. The pains of Asafoetida are relieved by pressure on the eye; they are
throbbing and burning. Lycopodium has ulceration, redness and styes, nocturnal
agglutination and lachrymation by day. Blindness of right half of visual field is also a
symptom of the remedy. Staphisagria has styes and nodosities on the lids; they do not
suppurate, but become hard, and there is great itching of the margins of the lids.
#Sulphur.
[Sulph]
This remedy will be found especially useful in conjunctivitis from a foreign body, after
Aconite or Ferrum phosphoricum; in scrofulous inflammation of the eyes, with tendency
to congestion; the eyes are red and injected and there are splinter-like pains in them,
worse in hot weather; it suits old chronic cases. Keratitis sub-acute conjunctivitis,
particularly scrofulous cases with acrid discharge, hot tears flow out on opening eyes,
also Rhus toxicodendron. Calcarea carbonica. Out best remedy for scrofulous
ophthalmias, corresponding to the worst cases; no remedy excels it in opacities and
ulcerations of the cornea; the general symptoms will indicate the remedy. Discharge
bland, cornea opaque and lids thickened. Conjunctivitis form getting wet, here
resembling Rhus toxicodendron.The eyes are so sensitive to the light that patient insists
on thick covering, and lachrymation is constant. There are phlyctenules and pustules on
the cornea and the lids are glued together. Fistula lachrymalis. Its effects are speedy and
permanent in the characteristic Calcarea child. Hepar sulphur has red, thick margins of
lids with little points of pus appearing at the roots of the cilia; excessive soreness and
sensitiveness of the lids is an indicating symptom. Vilas states that it will cure more cases
of keratitis than any other remedy. It is invaluable in the suppurative form. It speedily
absorbs hypopyon, and abscesses of the cornea require no other remedy. It has been
called the king of remedies in ulceration of the cornea. Acute symptoms, severe pains,
worse by cold touch and bright light, hypopyon. The ulcers of Silicea are sluggish. Boyle
prefers Ipecac to Conium in phylctenular keratitis in children with redness, photophobia
and lachrymation.
#Euphrasia.
[Euph]
One of our best remedies in eye affections; it has an inflammation of the lids, which
appear red and injected, or perhaps ulcerated, with a profuse excoriating discharge,
photophobia, cannot bear artificial light. Pustules near the border of the cornea. Reading
or writing brings on pain in the eyes. Conjunctivitis, blisters and phlyctenules on the
conjunctiva, blurred sight, acrid purulent discharge. Traumatic conjunctivitis. Rheumatic
iritis, burning , stinging, shooting pains worse at night. Phlyctenular ophthalmias with
excoriating discharge. It is especially useful in acute exacerbations of granular
ophthalmia. Euphrasia and Ruta are very old remedies in eye affections.
Purge with Euphrasy and Rue The visual nerve, for he had much to see. MILTON.
Blurring of vision, relieved by winking thus wiping the eye is especially characteristic of
Euphrasia. The 12X is a very useful strength. Kreosote has a blepharitis with a discharge
of hot tears. Arsenicum. Here the great characteristic is burning, as if from fire, burning
discharges relieved by warmth, intermittent pains, ulcerations of cornea, running a rapid
course with a high degree of inflammation, are greatly benefited by this remedy
according to Bayes. It is useful in obstinate cases of ophthalmia of he strumous variety
when other remedies fail. Useful in glaucoma with periodical exacerbation of the pain
which is intense and burning. Nitric acid is often indispensable in ophthalmia
neonatorum, but its main use is in superficial ulcers of the cornea with splinter-like pains.
It is also considered to be one of our best remedies in corneal opacities; also Cannabis
sativa must not be forgotten. Digitalis, according to Copeland, must not be forgotten in
blepharitis, and Hahnemann mentions it in Meibomian inflammation. Sepia. In
asthenopic conditions we have a number of remedies and among them is Sepia, which
especially suits asthenopia from uterine disease and sluggish, scrofulous, sub-acute cases.
There is dryness of the eyes in the evening, the lids may be scaly and there will be
drooping of the lids, worse in the morning and evening and in hot weather, relieved by
cold bathing. There is blurring of slight and asthenopia from seminal losses, sudden
vanishing of sight. It has also been used in trachoma and cataract. It is perhaps, the chief
remedy in vernal conjunctivitis; the morning and evening aggravation is its great
characteristic.Natrum muriaticum. A fine remedy in asthenopia, there is weakness of the
internal recti, the eyes feel stiff while moving them, letters run together. It is also a
valuable remedy in scrofulous ophthalmia with acrid tears and spasmodic closure of lids,
in ulcers with inflamed eyes agglutinated in the morning, and in fistula lachrymalis. It
suits scrofulous children having eruptions on border of hairy scalp. Artemisia. Asthenopia
due to muscular defects and errors of accommodation. Colored light produces dizziness.
Cina. Asthenopia, on attempting to read, letters become blurred and a cloud over the eye.
Ruta. Is also a most a valuable remedy for affections of the eyes from overwork, where
every tissue of the eye is irritable. Eyes burn, feel hot like balls of fire. Onosmodium is a
very useful remedy in eye strain, with dull, heavy , sore, aching eyes. No inflammatory
troubles but patient is troubled with headaches and weakness. Dr. A. B. Norton finds the
remedy gives prompt relief to many annoying symptoms. Santonine. Hyperaemic
conditions from continuous fine work, as in seamstresses. Also to be remembered in
cataract. Objects look yellow. Ammoniacum gummi stands between Belladonna and Ruta
in asthenopia; the eyes smart and burn, especially when used at night by light. Agaricus.
Asthenopia from prolonged strain with great twitching of the palpebral and ocular
muscles. Agaricus 12 has, in the experience of Dr. E. T. Allen, of Chicago, cleared up
several cases of cataract. Asarum. Eyes feel stiff and burn or feel cold, better when in
cold air, or bathed in cold water, worse in the sunlight.
#Graphites.
[Graph]
Phlyctenular ophthalmia. It is one of our best remedies in vesicles on the cornea and
ulceration in scrofulous children; there is intense burning, lachrymation; the canthi crack
and bleed. Scrofulous ophthalmia with tendency to wild hairs. According to Norton this
remedy comes nearer being a specific in blepharitis than any other. Borax, also , with
soreness along lids. Graphites is the great remedy in gummed up, photophobia eyes.
and it is most useful in blepharitis, especially in eczematous subjects or following
measles. Petroleum is also a remedy in blepharitis when the lids are red, raw and moist.
Hepar sulphur has especially throbbing in and about the eye, formation of pus, hypopyon,
styes, cannot bear the eyes to be touched, pimples, great photophobia and relief of pain of
by warmth. Hepar is one of our most important remedies for conjunctivitis, especially in
cases that do not yield to Aconite or Belladonna, following these remedies well. Alumina.
Asthenopia from irritated conjunctiva, granular lids, loss of power of the internal rectus;
also Conium, Ruta and Natrum muriaticum . Dryness of the eyes also, Crocus, Berberis,
Natrum carbonicum and Natrum sulphuricum. Alumina is a remedy for ophthalmia
senilis; its well-known power of producing dryness of the mucous membranes is seen
here.

For instance, as a natural eye care treatment, if someone has red, swollen eyes, using a
targeted homeopathic preparation such as Apis can often resolve this problem. Let's look
at Apis which is honeybee serum. Normally, when the honeybee stings, it causes a red,
swollen area on the body where it occurred. Yet using Apis in an extremely diluted
homeopathic preparation has the opposite effect by improving and even resolving the red,
swollen eye issue. The dilution is so small that there is no physical evidence of the
honeybee serum left in the homeopathic remedy. Homeopathy utilizes only highly diluted
substances and not the full strength herb, plant, mineral or animal. This is the distinction
between natural medicines and homeopathic medicines, although a possible comparison
is when one receives a flu shot where a tiny fragment of genetic material from the
bacteria or virus is given to the body to initiate an immune response that helps prevent
getting the actual flu later.
Homeopathic medicines are good choices for home treatment of simple first aid or acute
(non-emergency) health problems, because they have no harmful side effects unlike
chemical drugs. If the remedy chosen is incorrect for the problem, then nothing will
happen and the problem will not resolve. There will be no adverse side effects from using
it and this makes it particularly safe for giving to children and animals.
Here are a few homeopathic remedies and their keynotes, which may prove helpful for
eye problems:
(Please note, that if there is any serious injury or trauma to the eyes, then
professional help should be sought. These remedies are for simple, non-complicated
eye problems. If the problem persists, please visit your eye doctor or obtain
emergency care.)
Aconite
relieves the pain and inflammation in an eye injury, usually given as the first line of
defense as soon as the injury or trauma has occurred. It is also given for pain due to a
foreign object in the eye (this does not replace a visit to your eye doctor as needed).
Aconite's relief is just temporary and often immediate.
Arnica
is good for bruising, black eyes, and bleeding. It can be taken internally every hour if
needed until the eye feels better or when the bruise and swelling is decreased. It is also
good for eye socket injuries, and for injury to the soft tissue surrounding the eyes.
Alumina
is useful for dryness due to lack of aqueous
Arsenicum album
is useful for dryness due to inflammation
Apis
is useful for pain, swelling, heat, allergy eyes, and pressure sensation.
Belladonna
is good for sudden onset of red, hot, burning, itchy eyes.
Calcarea flourica
is good for capillary integrity
Calcarea phosphorica
is helpful for the sensation of a foreign body in the eye.
Calendula
is helpful for corneal healing and corneal health and vitality.
Causticum
is used for eye pain and cloudy vision.
China
may help dimming of the vision.
Cineraria maritima
supports circulation within the eye to supply nourishment and drain toxins.
Euphrasia
is helpful for general dryness, redness and irritation of the eye and eyelid.
Gelsemium
is helpful for eye pressure balance
Hypericum
is used for eye injury, excessively painful eyes or blood shot eyes or any nervous
affliction of the eyelids or eyes, such as excessive blinking. Also used for eye pain, which
follows removal of a foreign object from the eye. Also for long-lasting enduring pain.
Kalium phosphoricum
is helpful for weak vision, health of the optic nerve
Ledum
can be useful for bruising or black eyes if Arnica does not alleviate the problem. The
keynote for using ledum is the presence of puncture wounds.
Lycopodium
is helpful for the optic nerve
Natum muriaticum
is useful for the health of the eye
Phosphorus
is useful for retinal haemorrhage
Ruta graviolens
is useful for eyestrain, computer eyes, or close up work. For painful, red, hot eyes. Also
for headache due to eyestrain.
Senega

Staphysagria
is helpful for the sensation of a foreign body in the eye.
Sulphur
is used for dryness, redness of the eye and lid and allergies.
Symphytum
is beneficial for eyeball injuries, such as being hit with a snowball, a tennis or baseball, or
any other blunt object striking the eye.

Dry, itchy eyes, or "Dry Eye Syndrome", is the most common complaint that eye doctors
hear from patients. Americans of both sexes, of all ages, and of all racial backgrounds
have mild or severe instances of dry itchy eyes.
The eyes often reflect a larger problem that needs to be treated systemically. Certain
nutrients such as vitamins A, C, D, E, & B6, Magnesium, GLA & DHA,
Mucopolysaccharides (mucopolysaccharides are sugar molecules clumped together in a
long chain) & tumeric may help ease chronic and severe dry eyes.
Dry itchy eyes are often related to other health conditions in the body such as other
mucous membrane dryness, brittle nails, and in interior surfaces like the joints. The
condition can an indicator of digestive imbalances or of serious autoimmune diseases,
like Sjogren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus erthematosus.
Symptoms
Symptoms typically include irritation, dryness, burning, grittiness, difficulty reading for
long periods of time, and, even though it may seem contradictory, excessive watering or
tearing as the eyes attempt to solve the problem.
There are three interrelated layers of the "tear film" - the moisture laden surface of the
eye and continuity of that surface and the production of tears relies on the function of
three interrelated layers:
1. Mucus
layer which
has
some
anti-microbial
properties.
2. Slightly alkaline watery layer comprising up 90%
of the thickness of the tear film.
3. Oily layer which slows evaporation of the tear film.
4. Blinking renews the tear film by bringing material
from the watery and oily layers removing debris.
While normal blink rate is about 10-12 blinks per
minute, when working on the computer our blink
rate often slows. After about 10 seconds the tear
film becomes unstable - leading to tired, dry eyes.

Age: Dry itchy eyes are experienced by 75% of those over 65,
by which time you have 40% of the volume of tear film that

There are hoards of homeopathic remedies useful in the treatment of various eye
problems. However, one must remember that for constitutional eye problems like
cataract, glaucoma, recurrent blepharitis or conjunctivitis, corneal opacities, and/or
recurrent styes, one must go for constitutional prescribing after carefully considering the
physical, mental, and emotional characteristic of the individual; then only it is possible to
impart perfect cure! But one must be acquainted with certain remedies that specifically
render beautiful results in varied eye problems so that they can be used for acute
prescribing as well.
Top 10 homeopathic remedies for eye problems
(1) Euphrasia-
Acrid burning eye discharge that corrodes the margins of the lids
Blistery cornea
One of the great remedies for rheumatic iritis that may be associated with partial
ptosis
-
Swelling of the lids with burning, which feels better when in open air
Must be compared with Allium cepa while dealing with allergic rhinitis associated
with conjunctivitis. In Allium cepa, eye discharges are bland and coryza is acrid.
(2) Ambrosia-
(3) Ruta-
Eye-strain headaches
(4) Pulsatilla-
Pulsatilla is one of the most invaluable homeopathic medicines for eye troubles.
All complaints are worse in warm room and better when in open air
(5) Spigelia-
Extreme photophobia
Rheumatic ophthalmia
Pains in and around eyes feel as if extending deep into the socket
Merc sol-
Floaters
Eye trouble that starts after exposure to the glare of fire etc
(8) Silica-
Better warmth
Corneal ulcers
Pain in orbits
(10)
Agaricus-
Agglutinated margins of lids with burning pains with red inner canthi
doses of Arnica will absorb the clots. Bell, Crotalus hor; Lachesis and Opium are a few
important medicines found useful for elderly patients for the retinal haemorrhage or
haemorrhagic retinitis or Apopletic retinitis even if the cause differs.
In infants
In infants, infection of the eyes with Gonococci is quite common. The child contacts it
through birth canal while being born and Alumina is the commonly indicated medicine
(for adults Aco, Apis, Arg nit, Calc hypo., Hepar sulph., Merc sol., Puls., Spig and
Sulphur are the commonly indicated medicines).
Excessive watering from the eyes which is due to blockage (Stricture Lachrymalis) in
drainage passages is sometime seen in infants. It is usually in one eye and starts a few
days after birth. Such watering if present since birth, is amenable to medicine therapy.
Watering or stricture of Lachrymal duct
Euphrasia: Much thick, yellow, acrid discharge making the lid sore and excoriated.
Hepar sulph: Stricture closed by exudative swelling, after pus has formed or in
blennorrhoea with great sensitiveness to touch and cold, also profuse discharge.
For adults Argenticum met, Merc sol, Nat-mur, Silicea, and Stanum are the medicines.
Childhood:
Playing with pen, pencil, and other pointed objects in school-going child can cause
damage to the eyes. Such incidents need Arnica, Calendula, and Ledum.
In very small children, cross eye or "squint" is sometimes observed. One very important
reason being: eyeball of the child at birth is 17 mm long. At 7 years of age it becomes
normal i.e. 24 mm. During this period, child is hypermetropic i.e. long sightedness.
Being hypermetropic, he accommodates all the times and accommodation produce
convergence. For this reason, some of the child start squinting and eye turns inward. The
condition needs a very consistent and long-term approach. Delay may lead to partial
blindness of one eye.
Squint or Strabismus or cross eyes.
Chin sulph: Squint is intermittent and on alternate days.
Chel: Convergent in children.
Cic: Cyclamen, Cina, Nat. phos, Spigelia according to indication of squint with worms
history.
If a periodic and of a spasmodic in character, or caused by convulsions, after a fall or
blow.
Nat mur: Divergent squint, following inflammatory rheumatism, eyes parallel for one
day then squint comes on from fatigue more marked in hot weather and worse in winter.
Nux vomica: Squint with diplopia, worse from mental excitement or caused by injury.
Stram. : Squint in cholera infantum, from mental emotions, epilepsy, terror or fear, etc.
Medicines, such as Agaricus, Alum., Amygdala, Calc., Calc. phos., Lys, Camphor, Chel.,
Cina, Colc., Dig., Eryng., Jab., Kali br., Kali-phos., Lyco., Mag phos., Merc., Morph.,
Phos., Sulphur, Syphilinum, Tarentula, Ver. v, Zinc, etc. are used both for children and
grownup.
Some other Eye diseases of the children
Stye or acne hordeolum
Cal carb: Styes leave induration.
Causticum: Sticking as with needles in moving in morning, old styes swell.
Conium: Styes recur, becomes indurated, inflame.
Hep sulph: If suppuration has commenced with throbbing or pulsating pain, great
sensitiveness to touch and amelioration by warmth.
Phosphorus: Styes especially in the lower eyelid, if ears get well otorrhea.
Puls: Styes with conjunctivitis, ciliary blephritis, now in one then in the other canthus
with drawing tensive pains in eyes on moving muscles of face, with ulcerated nostril, if
given early before the formation of pus, will often cause to abort. As a remedy for
successive crop. It is specially useful if depended upon gastric derangement and
accompanied by acne of face, also when found in amenorrhic female especially on the
upper eyelids.
Rhus tox: Styes over eyelids in the early stage when there oedematous swelling of the
lids.
Sepia: Styes with redness of eyes. Repeated styes form indurations (tumor) and form
indurations.
Staphisagria: Styes one after another, on the right and left upper lids, severe pain,
confined to dark room and usually to bed. Amelioration by application of cold water.
Stye remains a hard nodule or hard nodule form stye.
Sulphur: Recurrence of successive crops.
Some other medicines for styes are: Acid phos., Alum, Amonium carb, Aurum sulph.,
Baryta carb., Cal. flour., Colchicum., Cypripedium pubescens, Ferrum met,

The herb euphrasia has a typical similarity with our eyes. The general physical symptoms
cured by this herb include eye irritation accompanied by hurtful and smouldering pains as
well as muggy mucus. In such cases, the sufferer usually experiences an intense
sensitivity to light together with inflamed, swollen eyelids and repeated blinking. The
eyes also have a tendency to water heavily - a symptom worsened when the sufferer is
exposed to open air, is coughing or lying down. This medication is primarily used to treat
infections

Since the Middle Ages people have been employing eyebright to cure straining and
inflamed eyes. In contemporary times, practitioners of herbal medicine use eyebright to
treat allergies and infections of the eyes, nasal passages, sinuses and the middle ear.
Euphrasia is a remedy that becomes effective very fast and assists in brightening the eyes
and clearing blockages. It provides immediate relief when anyone is suffering from
burning, inflamed, red and aggravated eyes attributable to hay fever, allergies or a
running
cold.

runny. It may be pleasant to your eyes when their condition worsens in a smoke-filled
warm room compared to being in a garden when it is in full bloom.

whose nature is somewhat melancholic. Such people may have a tendency to daydream
and may be engaged easily into their environs as well as people around them. In addition,
such individuals have a propensity to struggle with physical symptoms that may result in
exasperation and frustration in their personal lives too.

Uses
In homeopathy, Euphrasia is the main cure for several eye conditions, including cataract,
allergies of the eyes, conjunctivitis, granular eyelids and glandular swellings. It is an
excellent remedy for catarrhal conjunctivitis accompanied by cloudiness of cornea and
ulceration. This medication is most suitable for people who have a feeling of dryness,
inflammation and stinging in their eyes. In such cases, the eyes water profusely almost
always and the water has a pungent smell. It is also given to people who experience
copious acrid lachrymation accompanied with copious bland coryza. Usually, the eyes are
sticky in the morning. In addition, Euphrasia is also effective for curing granular eyelids.
In such cases, the edges of the eyelids turn red, distended and there is a burning sensation
- making the eyes extremely susceptible to touch. This homeopathic remedy is also useful
for conditions like violent prickling of the eyes that results in frequent rubbing as well as
winking. It is also an appropriate remedy for delicate rashes in the region of the eyes
accompanied with swollen eyelids and unclear vision. In addition, the patients may
experience a biting pain in their eyes, which spreads out towards the head, and there is a
sensation as if the eyes are straining owing to the presence of sand particles.
The traditional use of the eyebright based herbal remedies go back to Scotland of the 14th
and 15th centuries, during this time the Scottish highlanders made an herbal infusion of
the Euphrasia officinalis and used this herbal infusion for the treatment of different eye
conditions caused by a variety of factors. Herbalist traditionally used to give eyebright to
patients affected by coughs, by hoarseness of voice, those with an earache, and those
affected by headaches during the 19th century and the plant was one of the most
important herbs used in the treatment of these conditions. Its use as an antiseptic herb and
an anti-inflammatory herb continues till this day and many herbalists prescribe this herb
for the treating inflammation in their patients. Some of the typical problems in which
Euphrasia based medications are used include the different disorders of the eye, like the
inflammation of the conjunctiva or conjunctivitis, it is also used in the treatment of the
disorder called blepharitis, which is the inflammation affecting the eyelids, it is also used
in treating the inflammation of the irises or iritis, in addition, the herbal remedies made
from the Euphrasia are also used in the treatment of dimmed vision, in treating
intolerance to bright light, in alleviating and reducing the production of sticky mucus in
the body, in the treatment of small blisters which affect the cornea of the eye, the cornea
is the keratinized hardened surface tissue of the human eye, the remedy is also used in the
treatment of dry eyes which often afflict women during menopause. The remedy also
finds extensive use in the effective treatment of physical injuries to the eyes and in those
cases where the eyes turn watery or are otherwise affected by an intense stinging
sensation, coupled with the presence of abundant, intensely burning and sticky
discharges. Patients affected by common colds and seasonal symptoms of hay fever in
whom symptoms such as very hot and reddened cheeks along with abundant watery
mucus can be treated with this remedy for a full recovery. Euphrasia is also very effective
in the treatment of individuals suffering from seasonal disorders such as the allergy
induced hay fever; the eyes are the main part of the body affected during this condition.
Hay fever causes irritation and swelling in the eyes of the person, this symptom is often
accompanied by the presence of a bland watery nasal discharge at times. The herbal
remedies made from the eyebright herb are also used in the treatment of intense and
splitting headaches affecting patients; it can be used as an herbal remedy for the treatment
of intense and painful constipation, and is an excellent remedy for the initial stages
of measles in patients. The herbal remedy based on the eyebright is also often used in the
treatment of women, especially during problems such as short and painful menstruation,
where the menstrual flow might last only for about an hour each day during the entire
menstrual period, the painful inflammation affecting the prostate gland in men can also
be treated using the herbal eyebright remedy.
Individuals suffering from any type of eye condition are likely to find the homeopathic
remedy Euphrasia beneficial. It is useful in curing sticky eyes, especially when it is
accompanied with a burning sensation. This homeopathic remedy is also effective in
treating eyes that are prone to profuse watering or eye problems that have a tendency to
worsen when they are exposed to open air. In such case, there may be some kind of
irritation as well as pain in the eyes owing to allergies.
While most people especially rely on the homeopathic remedy Euphrasia to get relief
from their eye problems, this medication can also assist in curing the primary causes
related to almost all eye problems. In this case, it is worth mentioning that Euphrasia may
be very effective in treating hay fever as well as the symptoms and complications
associated with this condition. These symptoms may comprise irritating eyes, ears and
nose.
