Luckily, you can easily make your own natural eyedrops at home using safe and inexpensive ingredients. In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how.

To start, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup of distilled water
  • 1 teaspoon of organic chamomile flowers
  • 1 teaspoon of organic calendula flowers
  • 1 teaspoon of organic eyebright herb
  • 1 teaspoon of saline solution (non-iodized salt mixed with distilled water)

Prepare the Eyedrop Solution

Follow these steps to prepare your natural eyedrop solution:

  1. Boil the cup of distilled water in a small pot.
  2. Add the chamomile flowers, calendula flowers, and eyebright herb to the boiling water.
  3. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, strain the mixture using a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a clean glass container.
  6. Add the teaspoon of saline solution to the container and stir gently.

Store and Use Your Homemade Eyedrops

Your homemade natural eyedrops are now ready to use. Here are some important storage and usage tips:

  • Transfer the eyedrop solution into a clean, airtight dropper bottle for easy application.
  • Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Before using the eyedrops, wash your hands thoroughly to maintain cleanliness.
  • Tilt your head back slightly and use one hand to gently pull down your lower eyelid.
  • Squeeze one or two drops into the lower eyelid, avoiding direct contact between the dropper and your eye.
  • Release your lower eyelid and gently close your eye for a few moments to allow the solution to spread evenly.

Additional Tips and Precautions

  • It’s always best to consult with an eye care professional before using any eyedrops, especially if you have existing eye conditions or allergies.
