Eye diseases are one of the most common. This is due, first of all, to long-term strain on the eyes: spending time at the computer, reading, as well as inflammatory processes. In the fight against various pathologies (hypermetropia, glaucoma, corneal opacities, trachoma), ophthalmologists prescribe Indian Ujala drops, the validity and shelf life of which is unlimited. In addition, almost everyone can use them, with the exception of some contraindications and possible side effects. Ujala are eye drops that restore and tone natural vision, giving hope to everyone who undergoes therapy with their help.
Indian eye drops Ujala - description of the product
Ujala is a tonic intended for the treatment of cataracts, redness, irritation, diabetes, and headaches. Find out how to distinguish farsightedness from nearsightedness here.
The advantage of this drug is that it cleanses the lens of the eye; surgical intervention is not required.
The drug is intended to cleanse tear ducts and blood vessels, as well as improve natural vision. Intraocular and intracranial pressure decreases with long-term use. The product is manufactured in India in the city (Himalaya). Release form: drops. People of different ages can use Ujala for a long time, depending on what they are suffering from, but to undergo such therapy it is necessary to wear glasses. This material will tell you what a fundus examination will show.
Eye drops can be prescribed by a doctor in cases where a person feels strain on the eyes while sitting at a computer, driving a vehicle or reading a book, as well as if he has had eye contact with water, after which it is necessary to eliminate irritation and redness.
The shelf life of the product is practically unlimited; even the appearance of dark floating sediment that occurs during long-term storage of the liquid does not reduce the quality of the drops.
Eye drops "Ujala"
After the story about my misadventures with getting eye tonic, I was inundated with emails, but when I was about to answer the same question in the comments to the note, I decided to put it again in a separate note, since not everyone reads the comments and may miss useful information. The question was “Do the famous Ayurvedic eye drops have an English name?” The drops are not at all famous. Their spread outside India is feared like the plague - just a few dollars for months of burial. And compare the amounts for eye surgeries. (end of story). So, the eye drops are called “Ujala”.
Here is what is written in their instructions (in part): “...drops treat the opacity of the eye cornea and lens, and are also effective in cases of vision impairment as a result of cataracts. Clinical tests have shown the effectiveness of the drug in the treatment of cataracts at different stages. The drug has the ability to stop the formation and progression of cataracts. Ujala eye drops prevent the need for surgery and are therefore especially useful for people suffering from diabetes and cataracts who cannot be cured by surgery. ….If you wear contact lenses, you should not use Ujala…..No side effects or adverse reactions have been reported even after prolonged use. There have been no cases of overdose…..In India, trials of the drug were carried out by traditional healers, leading doctors, and ordinary citizens. Everyone was convinced of its effectiveness.”
These are the excerpts from the instructions.
“Ujala” eye drops remove any type of cataract without surgery (but of course, not at the last stage - let’s look at things realistically, these drops probably won’t dissolve advanced cataracts), and restore natural vision in eyes affected by the disease. Various redness and irritation of the eyes, as well as headaches, also go away well. Their use helps lower intraocular and intracranial pressure (and these are signs of glaucoma, as our enlightened readers know).
Since one of the main causes of cataracts is the accumulation of mucus in the cornea (i.e. Kapha-type diseases), although a small percentage of cataracts also occur from disturbances of other Doshas, an increase in mucus is always present. So carefully monitor your diet, if possible, reduce the consumption of mucus-forming foods (milk, cottage cheese, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, milkshakes).
For the best effect, take 1 tbsp daily before bed. Take Triphala with or dilute it with hot water. And of course, you need vitamins from fresh fruits and vegetables that correspond to your Dosha, but unfortunately, we still won’t get to the analysis of specific products.
There is so much more to tell my grateful readers! Wait!
PS This story is a personal opinion and cannot be used as a guide to action. Consultations with attending physicians are not canceled and the use of prescribed medications is not stopped. I am not a distributor of these drops, so no complaints. I just shared my experiments.
UPD July 1, 2012: Doesn't apply to drops, but does apply to eyes. Another remedy for nourishing the mucous membranes is the application of ghee. You pick it up with your finger, place it behind the upper and lower eyelids, close the eyelids and massage from above. It's best at night, of course. If you do this during the day, then in about five minutes the excess will flow out, the film will disappear from your eyes and you can read normally. You can infuse Ghee on Triphala for several days (preferably in a copper bowl), stirring. Heat and strain.

Ujala is an Ayurvedic eye tonic with a wide range of effects: from relieving eye fatigue to treating cataracts without surgery. The product eliminates redness and irritation of the eyes, cleanses tear ducts, nourishes the membranes of the eyes, cleanses the eyeball and lens, strengthens blood vessels, treats conjunctivitis, etc. With long-term use, drops can significantly improve vision.
Since Ujala drops are produced on the basis of a traditional Ayurvedic recipe from only natural ingredients, they are perfect for those who do not tolerate chemicals well and for whom surgery is contraindicated.
You can use them to relieve eye strain after working at the computer for a long time, reading books, driving, watching TV, lack of sleep and overwork.
Ujala drops began to be sold in India in 1955, and have been used for 70 years as a non-surgical treatment for cataracts, especially in its early and middle stages. The product can destroy cataracts and remove them from the cornea of the eye. Drops also help with advanced cataracts, unless complete blindness has occurred and if they are used for a long time. With mature cataracts, they can, although not cure the disease, improve vision.
To get rid of cataracts, depending on the degree of the disease, you should use Ujala drops for 4 months to a year (the course will take 4–12 bottles). Treatment cannot be interrupted, since in the first two months the vessels and channels through which toxins will be removed are cleansed, and then cataracts are destroyed and removed. Then a preventive course of two to three months a year is necessary, since cataracts have the property of self-healing. This happens even after lens replacement surgery.
Active Ingredients:
Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa). One of the most revered plants in Ayurveda, Punarnava literally means “new again” in Sanskrit. Has a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. Reduces pain in the eye area, reduces tear production, improves metabolic processes and cellular nutrition. Slows down the development of cataracts.
Potassium nitrate (Potassium nitrate). Has analgesic and antimicrobial effects.
Instructions for use: drops should be used twice a day, two drops: morning and evening. After each dose, you should rest your eyes for 10 minutes, and try not to strain your eyesight for the next 2 hours.
When you drop the drops, you will feel a strong burning sensation in your eyes - this is a normal effect, which indicates that cleansing is taking place. Tears will remove impurities from the eyes. During this time, you need to be patient and under no circumstances rub or wash your eyes, because this will neutralize the effect.
It is best to use the drops in the morning after washing your face and in the evening before bed.
During treatment with drops, it is recommended to take the Ayurvedic drug “Triphala” or “Triphala Guggul” (1/2 teaspoon with hot water before bed or one tablet, depending on the type of drug). This will enhance the effect of the drops and prevent constipation, since long-term use of the drops can lead to constipation.
Contraindications: age under 12 years, individual intolerance, inflammation of the conjunctival or cornea of the eye of viral etiology, in the postoperative period, with fungal infection of the cornea of the eye. Do not use drops when using contact lenses; glasses will fit better during the course.
Attention! The possibility of redness of the eyeball, which does not go away for a long time, cannot be ruled out. In this case, you should immediately stop taking the drops and seek advice from a specialist.
Shelf life of Ujala drops: when closed, they have practically no shelf life, but after two years a dark, floating sediment may appear, which does not reduce the quality of the drug. The production date is indicated on the packaging.
Store drops in a cool, dry place, away from heat and strong light. Do not freeze.
Composition of Ujala Eye Drops: Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) - 9%, Potassium nitrate (Potassium nitrate) - 2%, Glycerine - 89%.
Purpose: eye diseases (glaucoma, trachoma, opacities in the cornea, myopia and farsightedness, conjunctivitis, degenerative processes in the tissues of the organ of vision, inflammatory processes). Used as a tonic, soothing and eye cleanser.
Instructions for use - how to apply eye drops
In order for the drops to have an effective effect on improving vision, they must be used correctly.
For adults
There are two stages for using eye drops: main and preparatory. The preparatory stage takes approximately 1.5 - 2 months, as a result of which the blood vessels and tear ducts are cleaned. The second stage can last either a month or a year, depending on the degree of complexity of the disease, while removing the cataract. This article will tell you about the best vitamins for vision with myopia.
It is highly undesirable to interrupt treatment at the second stage of using drops.
Ujala tonic can be used in combination with Irifrin, and it is necessary to instill one or two drops twice a day in the morning and evening, depending on the doctor’s prescription. Next, you should wait 15–20 minutes with your eyes closed, while you can move your eyeballs so that the solution is well absorbed by them. If a person has diseases such as diabetes or heart disease, then it is recommended to instill the tonic once a day at night.
To cure cataracts, doctors prescribe drops for a period of 4 to 7 months. During these 4 - 7 months, you need to take the drops regularly, and only after this period has expired, you need to take a short break, which on average lasts about one month. Over the next years, you also need to repeat the course of treatment and drip Ujala every year for 3-4 months.
In order to treat with Ujdal drops to persons under 12 years of age, there must be a compelling reason. Newborns are strictly prohibited from using this drug.

This remedy for the prevention of visual impairment and in the treatment of many eye diseases has been known in the world for more than 40 years. Positive experience has been gained in using the drug primarily for the treatment of mature cataracts (and glaucoma), to restore vision as a result of age-related changes, for conjunctivitis, redness and irritation of the eyes, for increased intraocular and intracranial pressure, etc.
"Ujala": - Is an eye tonic; — Used in the treatment of almost all eye diseases, especially cataracts and glaucoma without surgical intervention; — Effective for improving vision in patients with diabetes mellitus (types I and II); — Can be used at any age; — With regular use, it promotes faster restoration of vision after hard work, improves natural vision and prevents age-related degenerative changes in the eyes; Directions for use: The drug is used twice a day - morning and evening, with the obligatory condition not to strain your eyes after instillation for 2 hours.

At one time, instill one drop of the drug into each eye and relax and rest with your eyes closed for 10 minutes. There may be a slight burning sensation after instillation, which usually goes away within a few seconds. To reduce the burning sensation, you need to make several circular movements with your eyeballs without opening your eyes. Under no circumstances should you rinse or wipe your eyes immediately after the procedure, as the therapeutic effect of the drops will be completely neutralized. Blot any tears with a clean napkin. For serious eye diseases (cataracts and glaucoma), it is recommended to use the drug daily for 6 months without interruption (4–5 packs of drops). Then, to maintain the results, courses are carried out month after month (use for a month, rest for a month). This technique can also be used to prevent any visual impairment. Experts recommend increasing the proportion of fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs in your diet while using the drug, and reducing the proportion of animal fats and vegetable oils. The use of the Ayurvedic drug Triphala Guggul significantly enhances the effect of eye drops and allows you to achieve the desired result in a shorter time. To do this, take 2 tablets of Triphala Guggul orally at night every day for 1 month continuously, and then throughout the year on the waning moon in the periods from the full moon to the new moon. At the same time, you can prepare a cold infusion for washing the eyes and lotions from Triphala Guggul. To do this, you need to crush 1 - 2 tablets of the drug into powder and pour 100 ml. settled or purified water at room temperature, stir, cover and leave to infuse overnight. In the morning, before instillation and washing, you can rinse your eyes with the resulting infusion, or make lotions from it. Do not throw away the remaining powder, but also add water and leave until the evening, so that you can rinse the eyes the night before instillation. So, from 1 - 2 Triphala Guggul tablets you can get 2 servings of infusion for washing the eyes.
