Colloidal Silver For Eye Ailments

Colloidal Silver For Eye Ailments

Proven to be effective against viruses and bacteria, colloidal silver can be used safely in the eyes, to manage a range of eye ailments.

Description, Symptoms & Uses

Eye ailments may present as an inflammation of the conjunctiva – the membrane that lines the eyelid and wraps around to cover most of the white of the eye.

The eyes may appear swollen and bloodshot; they are often itchy and irritated.

Because the infected membrane is often filled with pus, the eyelids are apt to stick together after being closed for an extended period.

Causes

Factors that can contribute to eye ailments include bacterial infection, virus, injury to the eye, allergies, and exposure to substances that are irritating to the eye, such as fumes, smoke, contact lens solutions, chlorine from swimming pools, chemicals, makeup, or any other foreign substance that enters the eye.

“Pink eye” refers to a viral infection of the conjunctiva. These infections are especially contagious among children.

New-borns can be infected by bacteria in the birth canal. This condition is called ophthalmia neonatorum, and it must be treated immediately to preserve eyesight.

Foreign Body in the Eye

Definition: A scratchy and burning feeling of the eye may be caused by a dust particle or some other substance.
Causes: Working without using eye protection. Hot metal particles from a grinder, chemicals, household cleaning goods, windblown dust, woodworking particles or splashes enters the eye.
Immediate action: Do not rub the eye at all.  Flush out with copious clean running water.  Use an eye bath if available.  A strong magnet (rare earth type) can be used to remove metal particles easily.  Spray colloidal silver in eye to prevent infection.

If the condition persists:

  • tape the eye closed with some plaster to avoid blinking and thus scratching the eyeball surface.
  • visit your doctor.
