Here's how each ingredient is beneficial for the eyes.



White onion bulb juice cleanses the eyes.



Ginger juice improves the condition of glaucoma and cataract.



Lemon juice relieves dry eyes and eye strain.



Honey treats eye infections due to its anti-bacterial properties.



Benzalkonium chloride solution is a preservative.

How it works:

One drop in each eye is sufficient. Immediately eyes burn a lot (a LOT) like you cannot open them. It naturally brings out the tears as a defense mechanism of the body, and the tears aid in naturally cleansing the eyes. The drops are quite strong so the eye muscles contract (again as a defense mechanism), and as the tears dilute the drops and neautralize it, the muscles return back to normal. This contraction and release action of the eye muscles is a great exercise for the eyes and it helps the vision and focus. The strong composition of the drops also brings a rush of blood flow to the eyes, so they stay red for a while (in a good way). When blood flows to the eyes, it helps repair any shortcomings in the eye. 

My experience:

My vision immediately seemed much clearer (like HD clear) as if the lens in my eyes have been scrubbed clean. The burning sensation after putting the drops in the eyes reduced after every successive use to a bearable extent. My eyes are allergic to dust and pollution leading to dryness, itching, and redness, and using these drops helped it a lot. My eyesight is very weak with a negative 5.5 in one of the eyes. After regularly using these drops, the number came down to negative 5 in 3 months. It has greatly reduced my dependence on spectacle glasses. I would also suffer in the sunlight to keep my eyes open wide as sunlight seemed too harsh to me. These drops have greatly strengthened my eye muscles that I can keep them fairly open now, much better than previously. Also, the strain in the eyes after spending hours in front of TV/laptop/ reading has reduced significantly. Due to the honey and lemon ingredients, the dark circles around my eyes have reduced. It claims to help cataract and glaucoma as well, and I have heard very positive feedback from other users. I used to initially use it thrice daily, but with subsequent improvement, I now use it twice or sometimes just ones a day.

Final verdict:

As the saying goes - No pain, No gain, so does this eye drop. First time users be forewarned that it burns a lot that it does make your heart skip a beat (quite literally). Results are immediate for minor eye concerns and gradual but definite improvement in the condition of the eyes over a period of time. As it is a herbal composition, it is safe to use.
