Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the conjunctiva - the transparent membrane covering the eye. There are three causes: bacterial infection, viral infection or allergic reaction. Both the bacterial and the viral causes of conjunctivitis are contagious while the allergic reaction is not. In most cases conjunctivitis clears up by itself within two to five days. However, homeopathic treatment is worth considering if there are recurrent episodes of conjunctivitis or if there is a need to clear the conjunctivitis more quickly. I gave a homeopathic remedy to my son when he returned after a weekend away and had had symptoms of pink eye since Saturday. I gave it to him on his return Monday evening and by the next morning he awoke with clear eyes that no longer felt "scratchy". I have prescribed a homeopathic remedy for one boy who had many recurrences of conjunctivitis. It cleared up the flare up he had at that time very quickly and I haven't heard of him having another episode since.
A stye is an infection at the root of an eyelash. It looks like a pimple or a boil and can become quite red, swollen with pus, and painful. Traditionally styes are treated with ointments, drops, antibiotics and are surgically removed, if all else fails. I have successfully treated cases of stubborn styes that were not responding to conventional treatment and in fact in one case the very next day after a stye had been surgically removed another stye appeared on the opposite eye. Therefore, if you have a susceptibility to developing styes, if nothing has helped you get rid of a stye or if you want to consider a less invasive form of treatment before considering surgically removing a stye - you might want to consider homeopathic treatment.
Homeopathy works to boost the immune system to quickly overcome an existent health challenge and it also makes the body more resistant to disease so that subsequent episodes are less likely to occur.
