EYE symptoms of some remedies
Apis
Asthenopia and
chemosis, a puffiness of the conjunctiva showing oedema. Œdematous
swelling of the lids and especially below the eyes.
Apis & 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
There is
paralysis of the eyelids ; there is heat, burning and feeling of sand in the
eyes, muscular weakness and double vision.
Cantharis
Objects 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 dilate
the pupils.
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 excoriates, and there are
often vesicles on the cornea.
Hepar
sulphur Purulent
affections about the eyes, hypopyon, etc. ; worse from cold air or cold
applications.
Kalium
bichromicum Ulcers of the
cornea, with tendency to deep perforation ; look as if punched out.

not excessive ; photophobia, pain and lachrymation are moderate or absent, the
base of the ulcer is dirty yellow, and the discharge is white mucus, and it
tends to spread from the periphery.
Kalium
sulphuricum In ophthalmias
where there is a profuse discharge of pus ; ophthalmia neonatorum, crusts on the
eyelids.
Mercurius
Muco-purulent
discharges, which cause soreness of the lids and ulceration. Sensitiveness
and soreness of eyes to touch, with burning. Intolerance of
eyes to firelight, with dimness of vision.
Mercurius
corrosivus. Burning pains
; intense photophobia and excoriating lachrymation, making the cheeks sore,
almost taking the skin off ; tearing in the bones around the eye ; ulceration of
cornea with tendency to perforation ; it is almost specific for syphilitic
iritis.
Natrum
muriaticum It is a remedy
especially characteristic in muscular asthenopia and in ciliary neuralgia, which
comes and goes with the sun. Also in
blepharitis. There is
lachrymation and scalding, and letters run together when reading.

Subconjunctival hemorrhage, bleeding in the eye, eye injury, ruptured blood
vessels, blood in the eye, bleeding under the conjunctiva, bloodshot eye,
conjunctiva, pinkeye, conjunctivitis.The
conjunctiva is the thin, moist, transparent membrane that covers the white part
of the eye (called the sclera) and the inside of the eyelids. The conjunctiva is
the outermost protective coating of the eyeball. The
conjunctiva contains nerves and many small blood vessels. These blood vessels
are usually barely visible but become larger and more visible if the eye is
inflamed. These blood vessels are somewhat fragile, and their walls may break
easily, resulting in a subconjunctival hemorrhage (bleeding under the
conjunctiva). It is
caused when one of the tiny blood vessels on the white of your eye ruptures and
that tiny drop of blood gets trapped between the white of your eye (the sclera)
and the clear skin that covers the sclera (called the conjunctiva). Sometimes
this blood vessel breakage can be caused by a strong cough, vomiting, lifting
something heavy, constipation strain, a stong sneeze etc. This “trapped” blood
usually takes about 7-14 days to clear up. A subconjunctival hemorrhage appears
as a bright red or dark red patch on the sclera. It is
sort of like a bruise under the skin (but here the “skin” is the clear
conjunctiva)….first the color is red and bright then over time it may turn
different colors over time and become a bit yellowish before it completely
clears up.
CAUSES -
Most
subconjunctival hemorrhages are spontaneous without an obvious cause for this
bleeding from the conjunctival vessels. Often, a person may discover a
subconjunctival hemorrhage on awakening and looking in the mirror. Most
spontaneous subconjunctival hemorrhages are first noticed by another person
seeing a red spot on your eye.
The
following can occasionally result in a spontaneous subconjunctival hemorrhage:
sneezing, coughing,
straining/vomiting, eye
rubbing, trauma
(injury), high
blood pressure, bleeding
disorder, or a medical
disorder causing bleeding or inhibiting normal clotting.
Subconjunctival hemorrhage can also be non-spontaneous and result from a severe
eye infection, trauma to the head or eye, or after eye or eyelid surgery.
SYMPTOMS
- Most of
the time, no symptoms are associated with a subconjunctival hemorrhage other
than seeing blood over the white part of the eye. Very
rarely do people experience any pain when the hemorrhage begins. When the
bleeding first occurs, you may experience a sense of fullness in the eye or
under the lid. As the hemorrhage resolves, some people may experience very mild
irritation of the eye or merely a sense of awareness of the eye. The
hemorrhage itself is an obvious, sharply outlined bright red area overlying the
sclera. The entire white part of the eye may occasionally be covered by blood. In a
spontaneous subconjunctival hemorrhage, no blood will exit from the eye. If you
blot the eye with a tissue, there should be no blood on the tissue. The
hemorrhage will appear larger within the first 24 hours after its onset and then
will slowly decrease in size as the blood is absorbed. This
condition clears by itself within one to two weeks. Usually, recovery is
complete, without any long-term problems, similar to a mild bruise under the
skin. Like a bruise, a subconjunctival hemorrhage changes colors (often red to
orange to yellow) as it heals. A skin bruise changes to various shades of green,
black and blue as it heals, because the blood is being seen though skin. Because
the conjunctiva is transparent, a subconjunctival hemorrhage never has these
color characteristics.
What to
do?
- Call your
ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who specializes in eye care and surgery) if
the subconjunctival hemorrhage does not get better within two weeks or if you
have had multiple subconjunctival hemorrhages. Also,
call your ophthalmologist if you have a hemorrhage in both eyes at the same time
or if the subconjunctival hemorrhage coincides with other symptoms of bleeding
including easy bruising, bleeding gums, or both. Go to
your ophthalmologist immediately if you have a subconjunctival hemorrhage and
you have pain
associated with the hemorrhage, changes
in vision (for example, blurry vision, double vision, difficulty seeing), history
of a bleeding disorder, history
of high blood pressure, or injury
from trauma to the eye.
