Eye infection is one of the most common infections which spread rapidly from one family to another and from one friend to other. To prevent eye infection you have to make sure not to touch your eyes with your hands, because this is how the infection is spread.
If you have been affected by the infection then there are multiple remedies which may help you to end the infection. One of most common remedy is using rose water for your eyes, the benefit of rose water is that it has no side affect but it works slowly so people usually try to use other things such as Boric acid.
Boric acid is used in many treatments, and was used for washing eyes during infection for hundreds of years. Just take a small pinch of boric acid and dilute it in water. Then with cotton wash the surface of your eyes with it. Remember that pregnant women, infants or weak & old persons should not use this remedy.
