Cineraria Maritima Succus. Important Remedies for Ophthalmic Diseases: This is the only homoeopathic medicine that has been used externally as a specific for the cataractous affections of the eyes. It is prepared from the juice of the plant and dropped in the eye. The juice does not appear to produce any inflammation: a slight burning sensation, which lasts for about two minutes, follows its application – There is also more or less lachrymal discharge tinged with the colouring matter of the liguid used. Probably the action of this remedy consists in stimulation of the absorbents, and so far our present experience goes, the improvement produced is progressive and enduring^The general dosage should be two drops instilled in the eyes three times daily. One should continue this medicine with some patience for several weeks before any material change will be observed.
