'When it comes to eyes, we have to perk up and take matters seriously. Nothing can lighten up your life if your eyes take the road to darkness. Once the eyes are on a definite route to darkness, there’s little you can do by way of saving them. A host of eye problems affect people of all ages, especially during old age. The commonest of them would be cataract. When you have cataract, everything around you fades away. There is a certain fog or a mist in everything you encounter. If these are the symptoms that you often face, make no mistake! It could be cataract. Cataract of the eyes develops at a very slow pace. Once it becomes a serious and debilitating problem, people start looking for options they can consider for a definite cure.'

'This herbal remedy will work to clear up any existing cataracts and prevent new ones from forming. The recommended procedure is to wash the affected area in a steeped, cooled tea mixture, up to three times a day.’

Amazon.Eye Wash Details:
'Here's info on Triphala eyewash. When I went to buy triphala from an Indian shop, the shop-owner told me she uses Triphala eyewash regularly. That prompted this research for eyewash.
Here's how to do the eyewash:
Take one half of a level teaspoon of Triphala powder (1 gram) and place it in a teacup. Add 120ml (1/2 cup) of hot water that has just boiled. Let the Triphala infuse until it is the same as your body temperature.
Once the infusion has cooled to body temperature DO NOT STIR IT. Take a sterile round cotton pad that used for make-up or for medical reasons. Dip the cotton pad into the infusion and remove it. Squeeze it so that some liquid remains, but that it is not dripping wet.
Lay down on your bed. Place a towel under your head. Place this cotton pad over your eye. Blink. Repeat this for the second eye. Leave for at least 15 minutes. 20 minutes is an optimal time for this treatment and 30 minutes is the maximum time.
There should be enough liquid that some runs into your eye. The first few times that you do the treatment it may burn. This will pass after two or three days in most cases. If it burns it means you need this treatment in most cases. If burning persists more than a week it is not normal – see your doctor.
For loss of vision due to age or life style do this ONE time per day, evening is best before bed so your eyes can rest after the treatment.
For all other disorders do the treatment TWO times per day. Make sure to rest the eyes for 30 minutes before using the computer or other screens.
For serious disorders do the treatment THREE times per day.'
