Homemade drops can be dangerous due to the risk of infection and allergies. Tatiana Shilova, ophthalmic surgeon, professor, doctor of medical sciences, told Zvezda about this in a commentary.
“At the very least, they (drops. – Ed. Approx.) Can be infected, since we create these drops in non-sterile conditions and apply to the ocular surface, which can become inflamed as a result of the ingress of a solution containing viruses, microbes,” the doctor emphasized.
The doctor explained that all industrial medicines are produced under sterile conditions and according to a certain recipe, so the risk of infection and the development of complications is minimized.
In addition, according to Shilova, the ingredients in the homemade drops can trigger an allergic reaction.
“If we are talking about aloe, honey, or even urine therapy, these are the methods that we are actively using on the Internet to treat eye diseases,” Shilova said.
Also, the doctor drew attention to the weak effectiveness of drugs made at home. According to the doctor, using such drugs, the patient loses time and starts the situation, as a result, the disease enters the stage when it is difficult to treat it, and sometimes even impossible, although the timely use of modern industrial drugs could quickly restore and restore vision. In particular, Shilova turned to her medical experience, citing the example of patients who unsuccessfully treated retinal detachment, glaucoma or cataract with homemade drops.
