Is Castor Oil Be Used For Relief From Eye Irritation?
my 97 yr old mother in law is using castor oil for eye irritation relief. She is also taking meds ,Latanoprost .005 solution ,systane ultra drops and Erythromycin oint.. I have had 32 years of glaucoma drops and have never heard of castor oil for eye drops . I think this would effect her med treatment. Thanks for any help. Jack

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Castor is a house hold remedy and it can actually cause harm your eyes. It can predispose to infection and she might lose the eyes permanently. It’s better not to use castor oil.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
