How does homeopathy work?
The advantage of using highly diluted natural ingredients is the complete absence of side effects and contraindications. An alternative technique can be used to treat children from 2-3 years of age.
The therapeutic effect of homeopathic remedies is based on the theory that a minimal amount of natural substances that cause symptoms of eye diseases can cure the pathology. The principle of treating like with like does not cause deterioration in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, unlike taking tableted official medications. The concentration of hazardous substances in homeopathic remedies is minimal - 6 or 10-fold dilution in water, so the drugs are indicated for any age group.
Dry eyes
The feeling of dry eyes, although not a dangerous condition, is very unpleasant. Dryness can be associated not only with certain conditions of the organs of vision, but also be a symptom of other pathologies of the body. There may be redness, burning, and a burning sensation in the eyes. This condition is called dry eye syndrome.
Causes of dry eyes
First, a few words about how to moisturize your eyes. The outer transparent layer of the anterior surface of the eyeball is the cornea. It is covered with a tear film, which keeps the eye moist.
The tear film has 3 layers: lipid, which protects it from rapid evaporation and drying out, ensuring good gliding of the upper eyelid; watery, washing away foreign bodies, providing nutrition; mucin, in contact with the sclera and connecting the tear film to it.
About every 10 seconds, the tear film breaks, exposing the cornea. This irritates the receptors and serves as a signal to blink, which restores the integrity of the tear film.
If dryness occurs, friction between the inner surface of the eyelid and the cornea increases, leading to inflammation. A viral or bacterial infection may join this process.
Dry eyes can occur if the amount of tear fluid decreases or the characteristics of the tear fluid change, reducing the stability of the tear film. This may be a consequence of diseases of the body, have a local nature, or be provoked by external factors.
With age, the composition of tear fluid changes. The sebaceous glands located near the eyelashes do not have time to produce fatty secretions, and the evaporation of the watery layer of tear fluid accelerates.

Dryness and pain in the eyes
Dryness is often accompanied by pain in the eyes, when the patient feels as if there is sand in the eyes. This condition is often caused by certain diseases:
- eyes and eyelids (conjunctivitis; blepharitis - inflammation of the eyelids; demodicosis - a disease caused by microscopic mites that have settled in the hair follicles of the eyelashes).
- astigmatism (decreased vision clarity)
- demodicosis (a disease caused by subcutaneous mites)
- trigeminal neuralgia
- endocrine (diabetes mellitus, thyroid pathologies);
- autoimmune (lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's disease);
- hematopoietic system (tumors, anemia);
- dermatological (ichthyosis, neurodermatitis, dermatitis);
- infectious (tuberculosis, HIV, cholera).
Dry and red eyes
- Allergies. A person feels the presence of sand in the eyes, they become red, swollen, and itching is possible.
- A condition characterized by incomplete closure of the eyelids, which causes the tear film to dry out.
- Decreased corneal sensitivity.
At the same time, despite the rupture of the tear film, the necessary signal does not reach the brain, and the person does not blink. - Untimely outflow of tear fluid. If for some reason it is not removed, bacteria develop in it, which leads to inflammation and then dry eyes.
- Long-term use of certain medications can reduce tear production. These drugs include: antidepressants; contraceptives; eye drops containing glucocorticosteroids and preservatives; cold sprays; antiallergic and antihypertensive drugs.
Dryness and redness in the eyes can also be caused by:
- Increased visual tension (computer, TV, reading). This reduces the frequency of blinking.
- Lack of sleep. Sleep less than 7-8 hours a day.
- Low air humidity (climatic factor, use of heaters, specific working conditions).
- High temperature (hot climate, working conditions).
- Constant air movement (wind, fans, air conditioners).
- Irritating factors (dust, low-quality cosmetics or excessive use of even high-quality products, allergens, sun, cold).

Dos and Don'ts
It is necessary to minimize the effect of factors contributing to the appearance of the syndrome. When working at a computer, you need to take breaks, close your eyes, giving them rest. When operating a fan or air conditioner, make sure that the air flow is not directed towards your face. Protect your eyes with sunglasses.
To humidify the premises, it is enough to place small containers of water. Use only high-quality cosmetics and do not abuse them. If you use contact lenses, you need to choose proven brands.
Carefully comply with all requirements for storage, duration of wearing, and hygienic requirements for using the product.
If an irritating factor is known, efforts should be made to eliminate it.
Pharmacies offer a variety of medications to help cope with the problem. One of the most common is artificial tears. Many office workers assign them to themselves. The most reasonable thing in this case is to seek advice from an ophthalmologist.

To alleviate the condition, you can wash your eyes or make compresses from herbal decoctions.
If there are diseases whose symptoms are dry eyes, attention should be paid to their treatment.
If the cause is not eliminated and the problem is not addressed, the consequences can be very serious, including blindness.
Efficacy of drugs
The natural composition of the preparations has a gentle effect on tired, irritated eyes.
Official medicine does not recognize the effectiveness of an alternative technique in the treatment of ophthalmic pathologies, but, according to patient reviews, homeopathic remedies are effective for inflammation and swelling of the eyes. With regular use, the following improvements are noted on days 2-3:

- acceleration of blood flow;

Homeopathy for cataracts
This is a widespread disease in mature and elderly people. The lens gradually becomes dull, its refractive power is impaired and vision deteriorates. When the lens becomes completely opaque, it is removed surgically, replacing it with a prosthesis. This procedure has already become routine and is performed in ophthalmology departments several times a day.
If cataracts are detected at an early stage, then with the help of homeopathic medicines it can be completely cured or the progression of the disease can be significantly slowed down.

This medicine is successfully used in cases where cataracts appear in the right eye and then in the left eye.
Phosphorus . Blurred and dim vision, black spots before the eyes. The patient sees better by shielding his eyes with his hands or a sheet of paper. The patient sees a green halo around the light source. The drug is given in high potency at long intervals.
Calcarea Fluor 6 x or 12 x . This is the main medicine. It must be used continuously in a dosage of 4-5 tablets 2 times a day every day for several months.
Causticum . The patient often wants to rub his eyes. Black dots and spots appear before his eyes.
Lycopodium . It is used very successfully in cases where cataracts are accompanied by delayed menstruation or prolonged fever.
Natrum Mur., Sepia, Silicea, Euphrasia and Pulsatilla are used as additional remedies. Treatment should be continued for at least 6 to 12 months. Succum Cineraria Maritima – 1-2 drops 2-3 times a day should be dripped into the eyes.
