The eyes lie in the eye sockets for protection and are additionally covered by the eyelids to protect them. Nevertheless, injuries to the eyes can occur: from a blow to the eye, a bruise, flashes of light or foreign objects in the eye. Eye injuries should always be examined by an ophthalmologist. Homeopathic remedies help reduce pain, swelling and bruising.
