Eyes
The use of alcohol and tobacco is very bad for your eyesight.
Garlic contains the thiamin-boosting ingredient which increases the body’s absorption of B-1 (thiamin) tenfold. Garlic has a curative effect on eye catarrh and inflammation of the lachrymal (tear) duct.
The common herb Comfrey used as a poultice or tea drinks, seems to possess extraordinary healing powers. Doctors have used its medicinal extract, allantoin, in cases of stubborn ulcers, burns, and open wounds, with spectacular results, even burns to the eyes.
Many cases of near blindness have been helped by nerve massage. For eye weakness, massage the pads of the base of the second and third fingers on both hands, left hand for left eye, and right hand for right eye. Pressure on the ends of these fingers can relieve eye strain in a few minutes. To stop watering eyes, massage the webs between these fingers.

Cataracts are a loss of transparency of the crystalline lens of the eye. In the most common form, vision becomes blurry, like a frosted glass window, and there is profuse tearing and irritation.
It has several forms, but in general, the lens is hardened and is a deep brown, green, gray or milky. In some cases, it only affects part of the eye.
Using 15 mg of B-2 (tablet form) daily and nothing else, cures almost 100% of the reported cases for Cataracts. These results were reported by Dr. Sydenstricker of the University of Georgia.

The lack of vitamin C and Calcium are often associated with Cataracts. Others advise the use of vitamins A, D, E, dessicated liver, sunflower seed meal, organex, and protein, in addition to vitamin C and B-2 for Cataracts. This combination also helped with mental and physical health.
In Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Monthly (volume 31), a doctor says that his method of preventing or correcting cataracts is to give his patients a special diet which includes the tops of vegetables with a pint of milk and two eggs daily, with vitamins C and A and chlorophyll tablets.

Glaucoma
It is extremely important not to attempt to treat glaucoma yourself by dietary measures, without your doctor’s approval. This disease has several forms and needs to be treated precisely. Glaucoma patients who self-treat run the risk of blindness. Glaucoma can literally wipe out your vision overnight.
To help reduce the pressure of the eye that causes Glaucoma symptoms, one woman used 2,000 to 3,000 mg. of vitamin C with rose hips plus 150 mg. of Rutin twice a day for three months. The pressure in her eyes returned to normal. Others report the same results.
