Helpful against dry eyes
Especially in winter or when working more often at the computer, one often has the feeling that the eyes become dry. Also due to the increased environmental pollution, the eyes are increasingly exposed to irritation, which results in irritation and dry eyes. Here Euphrasia eye drops can be used to moisten the eye.
The positive influence of the drops on the fluid balance also helps to combat future dryness of the eyes. The rose petal oil contained in Euphrasia eye drops has an additional calming effect on the eye. Because the eye drops can be taken over a long period of time, they are a good therapy method for chronically dry eyes. In the case of chronic treatment, however, the doctor should be consulted.

Are Euphrasia eye drops available over the counter?
The Euphrasia eye drops can be bought over the counter. Because the eye drops are made from herbal active ingredients, which are additionally low in side effects and interactions, no prescription is necessary. In Germany Euphrasia eye drops are also only approved as anthroposophic therapy, as their healing effect is not scientifically proven.
These are the ingredients of Euphrasia eye drops
The Euphrasia eye drops consist of the Euphrasia officinalis, also called eyebright. Of this, 50 mg per 0.5 milliliters of medicine are contained. The components of the eyebright are e.g. iridoid glycosides, phenylethanoid glycosides, tanning agents and lignans.
Exactly which ingredients have a healing effect has not yet been sufficiently researched.In addition, the eye drops consist of Rosae aetheroleum (rose petal oil). Here, too, an amount of 50 mg per 0.5 milliliters is contained in the liquid. Otherwise, Wala eye drops contain sodium chloride (common salt), sodium hydrogen carbonate and water. These ingredients correspond approximately to a saline solution and thus resemble the composition of the tear fluid. They are necessary to transport the herbal active ingredients and thus have a function as solvents.
