FAQ:
Q: Can eyebright cure vision problems like cataracts or myopia?
A: No. While eyebright may support eye health and relieve strain, it is not a cure for cataracts, nearsightedness, or other diagnosed conditions. Always consult your doctor before using herbal remedies.
Q: Is it safe to use eyebright directly in the eyes?
A: Only under strict sterile conditions. If you choose to use it as an eye rinse or compress, ensure the solution is cooled, well-strained, and freshly made. Avoid use if you have eye infections or allergies.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Results vary. Some people may notice reduced eye fatigue or dryness within a few days, but long-term use and consistency are key. This is a supportive remedy, not a replacement for professional care.
Q: Can children use eyebright tea?
A: It is best to consult a pediatrician or herbal specialist before giving any herbal remedy to children.
