An eye ulcer is an irritating condition to have. It makes your eyes uncomfortable, such as having pain, redness, or itchiness. In order to get rid of an eye ulcer, an eye specialist has to examine your eyes and give you prescription medications. Prescription medications can have an adverse effect on the body. Even though it may clear the eye ulcer, it may affect your organs. It is important to have blood tests taken on a regular basis to see if any damage has been done to your organs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there is any damage or you feel like the medication is too strong, talk with your doctor immediately, so he or she can prescribe another drug. Prescription medication is not the only thing available to clear an eye ulcer. There are natural home remedies that are just as good as prescription medications, but safer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are eight amazing natural remedies to prevent an eye ulcer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact lens<\/a> wearers may not practice good hygiene. They may not wash their hands before handling their contacts and then place it in their eyes. Germs are getting into their eyes and will cause eye ulcers. Instead of wearing a contact lens, wear eyeglasses instead. The only time you should wear contacts is if you are playing a sport or dancing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other times you should wear your eyeglasses. Some people may think they don\u2019t look with eyeglasses, but it\u2019s better to look nerdy, instead of infecting your eyes. When you infect your eyes, it can cause permanent eye damage and you could go blind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need to wear contacts, take them off immediately when you get home. Always wash your hands with warm water and soap before removing them. The next to you need to use your contacts, use a fresh pair in fresh contact solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When you use a cold compress, use it with a towel. For instance, place a towel over your eye and place ice on the towel. Let it sit on the area for 15 to 20 minutes. It can be repeated several times a day. Allow a couple of hours in between before doing it again. The cold compress will help reduce pain, swelling, and redness<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you notice an improvement in the eye area, don\u2019t touch it. Every time you put the cold compress over your eye, wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap. Dry them off thoroughly with a clean cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always use a clean towel when doing the cold compress. Don\u2019t use the same towel each time. It may be a good idea to lie down when doing the compress, so you\u2019re in a comfortable position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
