Nutritional Supplement

Eyebright

Side Effects

Due to limited information on the active constituents in eyebright and the need for sterility in substances used topically in the eyes, the traditional use of eyebright as a topical compress currently cannot be recommended without professional support. Used internally at the recommended amounts, eyebright is generally safe. However, its safety during pregnancy and breast-feeding has not been proven.
