A 27 years old male consulted me with the fluroscein Angiography of the left eye with remarks as “Sub Retinal Haemorrhage and Multiple Blocked fluorescent spots”His blood pressure was normal and presented the symptoms blurring vision in the left eye with headache. Lachesis 200 was prescribed after repertorisation and after few months he presented the normal report.

     
   A male aged 25 years was brought to me for the treatment of iritis,who already had treatment in hospitals since 20 days. He suffered from throbbing, beating and burring pain in the eye. The complaints are better by rest the pressive pains experienced within outward made me prescribe Asafoetida 200, which cured his complaints.

     
    I have seen improvement in cataracts with Cineraria Maritima, Causticum,Phosphorus, and Sulphur. The Medicines Physostigma 200 and Napthalium arre also extensively used in my practice.Acute conjunctivitis respond well to Belladona and Eupharasia. Pulsatilla, Staphisagria,Conium and Hepar sulph are very helpful in treating Styes. Arnica is a wonderful drug to improve the muscular power of the eyes.

     
     Arnica is the drug that I frequently use to begin the treatment of uveitis caused by trauma. In most of the cases, the trauma is due to surgery on the eye for cataract. In spite of the fact that surgical trauma is more of an incision (clean cut wounds) and is not due to blunt injuries, Arnica is very useful. In Allen’s Keynotes, the first line of the ‘eye remedy’, Euphrasia reads “Bad effects from falls, contusions or mechanical injuries of external parts [Arn.]” However, when I gave Euphrasia to many of the patients who had earlier come with the history of cataract surgery or other trauma to the eye, it did not bring about any positive change. Hence, Arnica was next given to the patients- with wonderful results. I have found that in uncomplicated cases (patients with no other constitutional symptoms), Arnica is the sole remedy to treat the inflammation and restore the vision. There is not much scope for the use of rare remedies in the treatment of uveitis, mainly because it is a result of some immune mechanism and needs internal constitutional treatment. Many of the patients with vision of only Finger Counting (FC) before treatment have had their sight restored after giving the indicated homoeopathic medicine and the acuity of vision in such cases has improved to 6/12 and even 6/9. Most of the other patients have had their vision restored to 6/9 or 6/6 from a poor visual acuity of 6/60 or 6/36 after homoeopathic treatment. Patients who have a history of recurrent attacks of uveitis are followed up on a long-term basis in spite of the fact that the acute exacerbation is rapidly controlled by the homoeopathic medicines. Such patients have not had a recurrence even 2 years after stopping treatment.
I have found that the average time taken for the inflammation in the eye to subside completely is about 5-6 weeks. The ophthalmic surgeon documents this improvement. All the inflammatory signs and exudates usually disappear within this period. Patients with simple inflammation of the uveal tract, the so-called “rheumatic” iritis, usually had a clear vision within 2 weeks of beginning treatment..
