Top 10 Homeopathic Remedies for Eye Problems!


For more info, visit http://www.drshreya.com 

Eyes are the doorway to one’s soul! Eyes reflect mind, eyes reflect psyche, and eyes reflect HEALTH! No wonder homeopathy that caters effectively the ‘mind’ of an individual has lot to offer in problems of eyes. Eye is certainly one of the most delicate organs of the body and therefore, caring for eyes has to be done by an expert homeopath. A homeopath might want to consult an ophthalmologist to rule out certain critical eye problems before proceeding for the treatment. But here one should remember that while treating homeopathically, we should not give much importance to the diagnostic name of the eye problem but its signs and symptoms that point us to the accurate remedy.

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.

Here is the list of top 10 homeopathic remedies for eye problems—

(1) Euphrasia-
-         Acute catarrhal conjunctivitis
-         Eyes water all the time with inclination to blink frequently
-         Acrid burning eye discharge that corrodes the margins of the lids
-         Corneal opacities with thick discharges that burn
-         Blistery cornea
-         One of the great remedies for rheumatic iritis that may be associated with partial ptosis
-         Almost always associated with bland and watery coryza
-         Swelling of the lids with burning, which feels better when in open air
-         Worse in the evening, indoors, light, warmth
-         Better open air, coffee, dark
-         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-
-         Allergic eye problems
-         Intolerable itching of lids
-         Smarting and burning in eyes with watery coryza and nosebleed

(3) Ruta-
-         Eye-strain headaches
-         Red hot eyes with pain in eyes
-         Especially associated with sewing or reading fine print
-         Accommodation of vision disturbed
-         Weariness in eyes with headache
-         Excessive lassitude associated with eye troubles
-         Bruised, pressure feeling over the eyes
-         Compare with Natrum mur, Argentum nitricum

(4) Pulsatilla-
-         Pulsatilla is one of the most invaluable homeopathic medicines for eye troubles.
-         Bland thick greenish eye discharges call for it
-         Associated with itching and burning sensation
-         Recurrent styes invariably need a dose of Pulsatilla during the course
-         Inflamed agglutinated eye-lids
-         Sub-acute eye complaints in venous constitutions
-         Sub-acute conjunctivitis associated with dyspepsia
-         Veins of fundus oculi enlarged
-         All complaints are worse in warm room and better when in open air

(5) Spigelia-
-         Neuralgic eye pains
-         Pressing pains in eyes on turning them
-         Extreme photophobia
-         Rheumatic ophthalmia
-         Pains in and around eyes feel as if extending deep into the socket
-         Eyes feel too large
-         Very sensitive to touch
-         Worse from touch, jar, noise
-         Better by lying with head high

(6) Apis mellifica-
-         Swollen, edematous lids that burn and itch
-         Bright red puffy conjunctiva
-         Prevents recurrence of styes
-         Pain around orbits with serous exudates
-         Swelling below the lower lid (upper lid- Kali carb)
-         May be associated with urinary problem

-         Tenderness of eyes worse when closed or pressured
-         Suppuration in the anterior chamber of the eye, iritis
-         Confused sort of vision where letter run together while reading
-         Lachrymal duct affections
-         Has potential to clear corneal opacities when homeopathically indicated
-         Cataract in office workers
-         Worse new moon, cold
-         Better warmth

(9) Hepar sulph-
-         Corneal ulcers
-         Suppurative eye troubles, iritis with pus in anterior chamber
-         Conjunctivitis with purulent discharges

-         Worse open cold air

  1. How effective is the Homeopathic medicines, what is the success rate, is there any side effects ?

    ReplyDelete
  2. @Board Certified Doc,
    Homeopathic medicine has been found very effective in tackling many chronic and acute ailments affecting mankind. If you see the patient database with an established homeopath, the success rate is very high and consistent. There are very little or no side effects when the homeopathic treatment is offered judiciously by an expert homeopath. Wrong drug selection, unnecessary frequent repetitions, use of very high potencies (when not needed), are some of the reasons behind the side effects. But then that is obvious considering the depth of action of homeopathic remedies.

    1. Hi Doctor,

      I am 32 years old Chartered Accountant. I had never checked my vision, never used any glass or medicine, I also have no disease like BP, Diabetes etc....Since 3-4 months I was feeling headache and blurred vision, so I contacted Dr. Kothari @Bombay Eye Hospital & Research Centre, Babulnath, Mumbai, who said that my left eye has low vision (+6) and right eye is okay and so refused to do anything by saying that nothing can be done. I am very much tensed, I feel problem in reading printed material whereas I can properly read the PC/Computer Screen. I understood I have contrast problem of low vision. Kindly advice, if there is any treatment or medicine in homeopathy... I shall be grateful to you lifetime.

  7. Well, you can start with eye exercises (called Trataka) and Balasana (both terms you will have to search on google and youtube. These definitely help as supplementary mode of therapy that I often advise to my patients.

    However, much better improvement can be obtained with homeopathic medicines. You can contact any reputed homeopath in your area. Else, we can help you seek homeopathic prescription from us, if you mail your details to contact@drshreya.com.

    Thank you!

  9. Dr. Deshpande,
    I want to know whether there are any homeopathic cure to acute Fibromyalgia where the patient is almost affected in all the eighteen points regarding Fibromyalgia. I need to know this for my sister who is suffering from Fibromyalgia which has been diagnosed about a year and a half ago and the symptoms are gradually aggravating. She is only 25 years old.

    ReplyDelete
  10. @Anonymous- You suffer from nothing but allergic eye problems. For all the related symptoms, you need to take appropriate homeopathic medicines. As an auxiliary regimen, you should wash your eyes with cold water at least 3 to 4 times a day. Some yoga exercises also help eye health. You can write to us at contact@drshreya.com for knowing more.

  11. @Monodip Dutt,
    For acute as well as chronic fibromyalgia, homeopathy can help. Most importantly such tendencies to fibromyalgia can be cured by constitutional homeopathic approach, that is, classical homeopathy. You can write to contact@drshreya.com to know more.

    1. With the homeopathic constitutional therapy, we can certainly halt the progress of the problem in your mother's eye. Many details would be required though to reach a suitable remedial diagnosis. Kindly write in details to contact@drshreya.com so that we will send you an appropriate questionnaire for your mother. Thank you.

  32. Doctor, I have a chronious problem with allergic conjuctivity, my eyes are getting red and itchy all the time, I have got photophobia, the symptoms of redness and itchy are getting worse in warm conditions ets. When I was a child it started as a spring allergy and it became almost a yearly problem as I was growing up. I am 40 years old now and I am desperate with the problem. My life is so bad with this thing. I have tried several drops from the classic medicine and last year I decided to try homeopathy. It seemed to work for a while but now I am full of bad symptoms again although I do not use drugs and although I do exactly as my homeopath doctor says. It seems that I am a pulsatilla type according to his opinion.I am thinking of quitting homeopathy. Do you think the problem needs more time with homeopathy? Do you think there will be a remedy at all? Do you think I should try apis mellifica better?? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
