Tests show that topical ONION JUICE improves corneal aging changes through its direct effect, and indirectly through lowering IOP (intraocular pressure) and enhancing tear secretion.
The eye is a vital organ and is our window to the outer world, thus deteriorating its functions due to aging significantly harms the daily lifestyle of the aged people. It consists of highly specialized tissues to provide the ability of precise vision. The cornea is a part of our eye that is characterized by being transparent and avascular; serving many functions by acting as an anterior light refractive surface, protective blocking structure for the majority of ultraviolet rays and also providing a mechanical barrier against infections.
Aging process leads to structural alterations in the visual system affecting the corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium. These changes affect the corneal ability for light refraction and increase the eye vulnerability to infection. These aging changes of the cornea mainly include increased corneal epithelial permeability and gradually decreased corneal endothelial cell number leaving the cornea at risk for hypoxic stress.
In addition, irreversible age-induced endothelial cell loss affects the corneal hydration state. This leads to fluid accumulation and corneal edema losing the corneal transparency.
Also, age is contributed to diminished levels and composition of tears secretion by the lacrimal gland leading to loss of homeostasis of the ocular surface that induces tear film instability and hyperosmolarity, and finally inflammation of the ocular surfaces.
Grate an onion, then squeeze juice out using a clean, thin white cloth. Put two grams of onion juice and 2 grams of honey into a sterile dropper bottle. Put 2 drops into eyes 2 times per day. This is a very effective remedy for immature cataract. It resolves the already coagulated protein fibers as well as prevents further coagulation.
