it would seem from Andy's rubrics,as follows, that Sulphur could be
useful in protecting good eye .as surgery has already been arranged and
on re reading original probably very traumatic to alter arrangements.
I suppose it depends on the state that requires treatment,
--but also for post surgery, hypericum would be an early consideration.
Sulphur also listed for problems after eye removal (the eye opposite to
the one removed is listed in Hering/Knerr). Am sure there are other rx
to be considered but Hypericum might be the one to consider using ASAP
if other symptoms agree. I hope it all goes well.
Best,
Andy

Re: Eye Surgery
Thanks to eyeryone who has responded.
i am confused however at the suggestion of symph - as far as I can ascertain
there is no alteration to the sye socket - the eye is removed thus soft
tissue, muscles and nerves affected - how would Smyph be indicated - also
with bellis being used post preg - would this be better than arnica in this
case also ?
Thanks joan

Here is more analysis (rather allopathic though it is) based on the given symptoms of eye trauma with pain; and dyslexic type symptoms. Maybe when more of the case is taken then this will help in confirming an rx.
Note also as previously mentioned hypericum--here is some evidence from Hering of a case where the healthy eye showed sympathetic symptoms after the injury. It was stated that the main symptom was pain, and Hypericum is a supreme remedy for regions of rich enervation. Can you rule out or confirm Hypericum for the case as a whole(?)

Blindness from Eye Injury
Adi Desai, twelve years old. Case referred by Dr. N. N. Mehta, Bombay, India. This boy healthy and with no symptoms of disease and an unusually good family and personal history, free of constitutional disease. Was struck in right eye with a tennis ball, followed by almost complete loss of sight, being able to distinguish large objects dimly and not farther than ten yards away. Led. 1M, Symph. 200 and Euphr. 1M failed to help.
The patient's blood was sent to me to find the needed remedy indicated over the blood.
January 29, 1949. Con. 10M was given.
May 20, 1949. Repeated, with some slight improvement in vision.
August 10, 1949. Con. 50M.
November 15, 1949. Con. 50M.
February 23, 1950. Con. CM.
June 8, 1950. Kali-bi. 10M.
September 7, 1950. Kali-bi. 10M.
January 4, 1951. Kali-bi. 50M.
May 17, 1951. Thuj. 10M (2 doses, six weeks apart).
September 27, 1951. Thuj. 50M.
January 2, 1952. Thuj. CM (2 doses, three month apart). All these and successive prescriptions were prescribed from the blood.
May 27, 1952, Calc-sil. 10M.
September 5, 1952. Calc-sil. 50M. (2 doses, six weeks apart).
January 16, 1953. Calc-sil. CM (2 doses, three months apart).
Eye sight improving, patient developing well both mentally and physically.
August 18, 1953. Calc-sil. CM.
November 26, 1953. Calc-sil. CM.
August 31, 1954. Calc-sil. DM Constant improvement.
January 4, 1955. Calc-sil. DM.
April 25, 1955. Calc-sil. DM.
June 5, 1956. Calc-sil. 200. At a standstill.
June 19, 1956. Continued. Improvement in sight of injured eye.
Patient reads fairly large type from a distance of ten inches. Small type can be read from a short distance, if the letters forming the words are widely spaced.
Consider the extent of eye damage, with vision almost entirely gone and even though it took eight years to get these splendid results it was all worth while.
Here again we see what faith in the homeopathic law on the part of the patient and doctor can achieve. In this case we note how well the homeopath's philosophic technique is vindicated by not leaving one remedy for another while improvement in the patient and his symptoms continue. Also may be noted the steady though oft times slow improvement under the steady impact of the remedy given in progressively ascending potencies.

The following case will illustrate its use in an eye condition.
"Master T. S. R. aged 13 years was brought to me on 14th Oct. 1964 for the following complaint:
He had a penetrating injury in the right eye, when a flask containing hydrogen gas exploded. He was admitted in the hospital at Mysore and was treated surgically. Later on two well - known ophthalmologists of Bombay were consulted. According to them it was a vitreous haemorrhage and prognosis was generally good in the long run, but they could not give any opinion if the condition will clear up at all and if so when. Now he can only distinguish between light and dark but cannot count fingers. His appetite, thirst etc. are normal. Prev. Hist.: He had polio at the age of 2 1/2
years but recovered without much damage. Had chicken pox last year. Fam. Hist.: His mother has bleeding tendency. O/E. The pupil of right eye is dilated.
Arn. 200 twenty - one doses T. D. S. given.
This produced no change. Arn. 1M was then given for a week. There was slight improvement. He was able to count fingers in sunlight. So Arn. 1M was continued. But by 30 - 10 - 64 there was no further improvement. Then the boy developed new symptoms viz. unbearable hunger and headache on fasting. So Phos. 1M, fourteen doses, daily once, was given. The boy reported much improvement and the condition cleared up on the same remedy so that his vision became completely normal. "
