Give the medicines 4 times a day.
Use plenty of fresh fruits and green vegetables daily.
Apis
Asthenopia
and chemosis, a puffiness of the conjunctiva showing oedema.
Œdematous swelling of the lids and especially below the eyes.
Apis compared with Rhus
There
is less tendency to formation of pus with Apis than
with Rhus.
Rhus is
relieved by warmth and Apis by
cold.
Argentum nitricum
Violent,
purulent ophthalmia, with thick, yellow, bland discharge ; the characteristic is
the profuseness of the discharge.
Aurum
Syphilitic
iritis after the abuse of Mercury ; ulceration
of the cornea and intense photophobia ; double vision and half vision, in which
the lower half of objects can be seen.
Belladonna
Sudden
pains and violent symptoms, eyes feel swollen and protruding, conjunctiva red
and pupils very much dilated, eyes feel as if full of sand, desire to rub the
eyes which relieves. Great photophobia.
Causticum

is paralysis of the eyelids ; there is heat, burning and feeling of sand in the
eyes, muscular weakness and double vision.
Cantharis

look yellow.
Cinnabaris
A
pain in the eye, which starts from one canthus and goes around the brow of the
eye to the other canthus, a ciliary neuralgia.
Comocladia
dentata
has a pain in the right eye as if it were pushed out of the
head, worse near a warm stove.
Euphrasia
Blepharitis,
injected eyes, discharge thick and excoriating, the tears scald and irritate the
cheeks, photophobia worse in artificial light. Traumatic conjunctivitis. Paralysis of the third nerve.
Allium cepa
The
discharge from the eye in Euphrasia is
excoriating and that from the nose is bland, while the opposite is found in Allium
cepa, nose
excoriating and eyes bland.
Ferrum phosphoricum
Eyes
inflamed, red, with a sensation as if grains of sand were under the lids ; pain
on moving the eyes ; photo-phobia worse from artificial lights.
Gelsemium
By
paralyzing the third nerve, which supplies the circular fibres of the iris ;
there being no longer any resistance to the action of the radiating fibres, the
pupil dilates.
Belladonna
By
stimulating the sympathetic, which supplies the radiating fibres of the iris, so
that they overcome the action of the circular fibres,
Belladonna dilates the pupil.
Physostigma
As
this drug contracts the pupil by stimulating the third nerve, it will only
contract the pupil dilated by the action of Belladonna,and
not that dilated by the action of Gelsemium.
Gelsemium
It
causes paralytic symptoms, such as diplopia or double vision from paresis of the
eye muscles.
Ptosis and strabismus ; all from its action on the third nerve.
Graphites
There
is inflammation about the lids, which is especially worse about the canthi. There is a tendency for the edges of the lids to crack and bleed, styes
appear, the lashes turn in, and there is a discharge from the eyes, which

ulceration of cornea with tendency to perforation ; it is almost specific for
syphilitic iritis.
Natrum muriaticum

letters seem to run together.
Belladonna and Ammoniac

Aconite
When
resulting from a foreign body in the eye, or from exposure to dry, cold winds,
there is heat, burning and a feeling of sand in the eyes. Much photophobia and violent aching in eyeballs, also in glaucoma.

This page contains basic information. If you are concerned about your health, you should consult a doctor.
Normally cornea is very clear and as such has no blood vessels and as a
normal metabolic requirement it takes or breathes oxygen directly from air and
leaves carbon dioxide into the air like any normal tissue. The main physiology
in this process is to pump fluid through the cornea to keep it dry and
transparent.
When you wear contact lenses this gas exchange is drastically (up to 50%)
reduced. The cornea can stand this for few hours but when hypoxia to the cornea
is prolonged, it gets water logged (Corneal oedema) and can even show epithelial
breaks i.e. corneal ulcer.
This not only gives you hazy vision but also rainbow effects. If you allow this
hypoxia to persist for a long time, the cornea develops blood vessels which may
affect the vision permanently.
