Eye Ulcer

[Glenda Wilks]

Hi All,

I have a patient with a condition outlined below. I am wondering how I go about treating this condition as it is debilitating for the person concerned when the pain returns.

Hypericum has not helped.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

Well, after almost 4 months with no eye problem, last night E... woke up with that awful pain again.
The name of the treatment the eye specialist suggested is: "Cornea, epithelial debridement for corneal ulcer" and the condition itself called corneal ulcer.
It happened on his left eye 20 months ago, B..., scratched E..... eye with his finger nail. Since then E... suffers from reoccurrence of the pain, and the doctor said it hasn't been scarred properly, or in other words, it didn't healed properly and the scar is bulgy.

Check for your self to make sure it is an ulcer!
With a torch shine a beam of light so that it falls almost tangentially on to where the ulcer is.
Then look with a magnifying glass and you should see it yourself.
My suggestion would be to take a full case.
[I had a lady patient who I had treated with Nat-m before and all of a sudden she developed an eye ulcer which was very painful.
1 dose of Nat-m 50 M (do not ask me why that high?) cleared it over night.]

Hi Glenda,

I think The silicas are also a group to look at for eye injuries that don't heal. I had a corneal eye injury which had healed nicely (so I thought) after working my way through the different eye injury remedies (I think Euprhasia was the one that settled it), only to have it flare up again when I took a dose of Calc Sil. Sure enough Clarke has "it suceed(s) where Silica has failed in these cases (atrophy of children) and in corneal affections. It causes absorption of corneal exudation. Ulcers with punched- out edges indicate it" He suggests to compare Salufer(?), Fluoric Acid, Lapis Alb.

I also find it feels irritable around a couple of the gem remedies which also contain silica.

- I found Salufer, it's actually Nat Silicofluoricum.

Hi Glenda,
Staph is specific for what you describe below.

I am trying to remember what I used to heal mine. I think it was Hepar but I do remember making up Euphrasia eye drops and using them copiously. Mine felt as if I bits of grit in the eye.

Interesting, I wanted to reply that I've cured such a condition overnight with the constitutional remedy, and then I saw this reply. Patient's constitutional was staph. Now I don't know whether it acted as constitutional or as specific. What would happen if in another case patient's constitutional would be another remedy?

[Luise Kunkle]

Hi Maly,
Well, in case of a burn I would not worry about the constitutional but
give cantharis, wouldn't you?

Of course, if you definitely know a person's constitutional (I never
quite know what this means, though) this might also work, I do not
know.

I intend to take the whole case but have found the various suggestions/rubrics and experiences very helpful. Thanks to all for your input, I will update with Rx and result.

Cheers

Not necessarily!!!!!
Aside from the "constitutional" question, cantharis will *not* work for
every burn (at least not in my understanding); you'd need to take the
case etc.

If burn symptoms are generic and not guiding, then the "constitutional"
is perhaps the best step. OTOH in that case perhaps simple topical
treatment would be best.

That's because it's used by different people to mean different things;
you need to *ask* in what way the person is using it!
In some cases it absolutely would.
In other cases perhaps not...
