Boric acid might sound scary but it is infact used in many eye washes, peroxide is not!!! I am not recommending using an homemade eye wash but a paste that is applied near the eye. Given the danger of vapours entering the eye I am sure that you agree that (safe/r) boric acid mixes are preferable to anything using peroxide. |
I agree about home brews. Not that retail remedies are problem-free.
I didn't know about boric acid in eye washes.
I cautioned against it because I've been reading a lot of conflicting info regarding boric acid. Some say it is perfectly safe to use for everything around children and pets. Other sources warn that it can be quite harmful.
