Cineraria Maritima Euphrasia Eye Drops
Cataract, Conjunctivitis
Cineraria Maritima Euphrasia eye drops is a product of Research & Development of SBL in collaboration with Boiron, France. It is a combination of well balanced formula of homeopathy therapeutics for the treatment of conjunctivitis and other inflammatory conditions of eyes. Conjunctiva is a mucous membrane covering the anterior sclera (bulbar conjunctiva) and is reflected in the fornices to cover the tarsal surface of the lids (tarsal conjunctiva). The severe type of conjunctivitis is known as trachoma which can cause blindness. Conjunctivitis, therefore, needs quick diagnosis and treatment. Dr.J.H.Clarke mentioned successful use of Cineraria Maritima in cases of early cataract as an external application. Other drugs listed below also tend to reinforce the action against cataract formation.
