Cataract
I am a 50 yr old man. From the last few months am getting blurred vision. Washing with Euphrasia Q in a bowl of water does help. But have seen that there is whiteness all around my pupil.It seems to be the start of cataract. Can you suggest a remedy.Nkjaya

Is there anything that makes your eyes better or worse?
Do you have any other complains?
About you:

Do you crave anything/have aversion to anything?
is there any weather/season/time of the day which you like best or worst? Are you generallly a chilly or warm person?
What angers you most?

Is the EuphQ warm or cold?
Never mind the question about eye dr -just tell exactly what you see
1.from outside=in the mirror
2. from inside (your vision)
Do you smoke?

Did you ever have any skin problem-was anything used?
Although we will do our best here eye problems are serious because of the place affected -please consider this forum only as a second or even third opinion and seek help of experienced homeopath.

GO TO A DOCTOR AND FIND OUT WHAT IT REALLY IS!!! What if it is Macular, diabetic, there are MANY eye problems that if left untreated you will be blind! Forever!

I will type it again as it is important:

What Sabra is saying is right-as much as you may not want it the medical diagnosis in case of eyes is very important! You better go to ohthalmologist first.

Do you know what is CINERERIA MARTIMA ??
It is an eye drop...homeopathic.... which delays the onset of Catract.
It also delays further growth of Catract.
Catract is actually a fine gelly like substance (opaque) that begins to grow and appear before the eye lens....inside the eye chamber. it is part of the aging process.
In India SBL is making this eye drop.
I think Reckeweg and Wilmar Schwabe both make this eye drop.
Check their web sites.
In Jamshedpur you should be able to get all these meds.
(Bishtupur??, Sackchi??)
(Ask SBL through e-mail who is their distributor in your city.).
Also see the drug picture of "CAUSTICUM" ....if it matches your constitution....you can take that internally.

Before you decide on homeopathic remedy you may start taking Schuessler 12 tissue salts (I hope you can easily get them there)-all 12 are the best, some have eye affinity, and 2 of them, calcarea fluorica and silica, have been used to reverse cataract. It's like a food supplement-will not interfere with homeopathic treatment.
Astra2012 2 decades ago
Yes Pankaj, i know of Cineraria. Have used it in the past.Will try it.Pankaj, it seems you know Jamshedpur quite well. have just found a shop here which sells quality medicines, so will buy Cineraria soon.
John,i dont really get the sick headaches now, but used to get them due to acidity.now controlled.
Astra thanks for yr suggestion too. will try calc flour. have it with me.
thanks all of you.

I am surprised. No one is paying attention to Phosphorous.
Like anacardium for memory, phos is one of the best med. for eyes,not only for cataract, but for few other serious problems also. It acts fast.

phosphorus and causticum and sulphur and many many other remedies. But in homeopathy you select only one remedy on the basis of totality of symptoms.
Astra2012 2 decades ago
If the Bio chemics help with the drops then will prefer that.. Astra will look for the literature about Phosphorus if the rest of the symptoms match me. Causticum will prefer not to take without the guidance of a good Homeopath. Sulphur too.
Pankaj, cineraria of Boiron is in distilled water?? or ahould i go for the alcohol based one.

Cineraria... just take the sealed bottle of "eye drops"....not for internal use.
And use the eye drops regularly.
Reg. Constitutionally what is correct for you as internal medicine....post medical history....current symptoms etc.

no Nkjaya- I didn't say anything about the homeopathic remedy for you-it was just my reply to Inderjeet Maurya that there are many remedies who have cataract in their picture (caus sulphur AND MANY OTHERS!)not just phosphorus.
I stand by biochemic salts though.They will not interfere with homeopathic treatment (to select the remedy we would need the detailed description of all your symptoms, your sensations about them, are they sometimes better or worse; you need also to write a lot about yourself-your sleep, appetite, thirst)
and you may start taking biochemic salts right away.
Also the eye drops.

Astra2012 2 decades ago
take the eye drops and 4 times a day biochemic salts and answer these questions:
1. your main complain (i guess this cataract, right?)
a. both eyes? which one first?
b. which part of the eye is affected? (the colored part, pupil?
c. Are pupils contracted, dilated or normal (reacting to the light)-the same in both eyes?
d. what is you vision? dim? any spots floating, images ? halos around lights?
e. does anything make you eyes better or worse? hot or cold applications? any time of the day or weather (rainy cloudy sunny windy cold warm)?
f. do they hurt?do you feel anything about them (any sensation like e.g. they feel as being drawn inside)
2. do you have any other complains (like allergies, stomach dearrangements, whatever) for each please write if anything helps.
3. about you
a. do you smoke?
b. what is your appetite? are you craving or feel aversion to something? What foods do you generally like (sweet salty spicy etc)?
c. What is your thirst and what do you usually drink?
d. your sleep? anything particular about that?
e. what weather you like/hate? season? are you rather a chilly (like to wear warm clothes) or warm (even inn winter and without gloves your hand are warm)?
f. any time of the day that is worse/ better?
g. could you please describe your tongue?

Astra is doing the case taking for you. Good work.
At the same time you need to go to an eye specialist to make sure what is it !
(See Sabra's earlier post).
Do you have high BP ?
Apart from catract...many things can happen inside the eye...Retina problem, oedema in side the eye etc. etc which will blur the vision in the same way.
Optometerists are also trained to check inside the eye ....they can tell...although they cannot treat.

Dear Inderjeet,

Do you have any experience using Causticum for catract patients ?
Pl.share your views.
