Looking for simple home remedies for Fuchs’ dystrophy? Continue reading this article and see what they are. But first.

Fuchs’ dystrophy, also known as Fuchs’ syndrome or Fuchs’ uveitis syndrome, is an eye condition that is affecting the iris and cornea. In the early stages, one can experience the sting and itch of the eyes. In the more advanced stage, the vision gets blurred or hazy. Fuchs’ dystrophy is mistaken for uveitis in most cases, however, only around 4% of patients are diagnosed with Fuchs’ dystrophy. In 90-92% of patients with Fuchs’ dystrophy, the condition usually affects both eyes.

Fuchs’ Dystrophy Causes

The exact causes of Fuchs’ Dystrophy aren’t known, but there are risk factors that can trigger it. These are:

  • genetics
  • a history of diabetes
  • smoking
  • age (40s)

Both men and women can be equally affected by this eye problem, and it has a maximum incidence in people in their 40s. There is no exact allopathic medical treatment for preventing or slowing down Fuchs’s Dystrophy, except for medication that improves the symptoms. Corneal transplant is the most common measure for overcoming Fuchs’ Dystrophy with a high success rate. Still, there are home remedies for Fuchs’ dystrophy, that, especially when used in the early stages of the condition, can help a great deal. Here are a few natural and simple things you can do to improve and treat Fuchs’ Dystrophy that we want to share with you.

3 Home Remedies for Fuchs’ Dystrophy

1. Vitamin A Remedy for Fuchs’ Dystrophy

In order for the itch and sting to calm down, but also to help the eye mucous to regenerate, add a few Vitamin A drops to each eye, 3 times per day. Liquid Vitamin A helps restore and rebuild the eye components, to the retina. You will not be able to see properly for a few minutes after administration because Vitamin A is oily and it gives you blurred vision.

  • In addition, take Vitamin A and Vitamin D2 supplements 4 times a day, or fish oil capsules.

Try to find organic or natural source vitamins to make the most of this treatment. These vitamins and minerals are amazing for eye conditions, and some of the best home remedies for Fuchs’ dystrophy.

2. Wheat Bran Cure for Fuchs’ Dystrophy

In order for the eyes to be thoroughly clean, wash your face with wheat bran water only.

  • To prepare this water, boil 3-4 tbsp of wheat bran in a pot of water the evening before.
  • The wheat bran water will be ready to use the next morning.

In addition, stop using any eye makeup, especially eye shadows, mascara, and eye pencils. Eye cosmetics if used regularly can only aggravate any eye conditions because they irritate the eye mucous. This is one of the best home remedies for Fuchs’ dystrophy.

3. Castor Oil Remedy for Fuchs’ Dystrophy

Grease your eyelashes with castor oil every night before bed. Use a q-tip and apply only a very small amount on the exterior of the eye, on the lashes. Make sure the oil doesn’t go inside the eye. Castor oil has been used as a natural remedy to help eyelashes grow faster and stronger so it’s not harmful to use it on the eyes. After applying the castor oil a few days in a row you will feel much better and you will see tears forming naturally.

The Best Diet for Fuchs’ Dystrophy

In order to help prevent and improve Fuchs’ dystrophy, your diet should consist of 50% grilled fatty fish, root vegetable salads (carrots and celery especially!) with simple olive oil dressing, black olives as well as fresh figs.

You can also include fresh dairy products into your diet for Fuchs’ dystrophy but in reduced amounts.  The main aim of this diet is to have as many good fats as possible and eat foods as fresh as possible, with little to no cooking. Avoid alcohol and caffeine because they dehydrate the body tremendously and drink plenty of fresh water.

Other Natural Tips for Fuchs’ Dystrophy

Stay away from strong light and avoid looking closely at computer screens. There are special glasses that protect your eyesight from the radiations generated by computer screens that may come in handy. Get outdoors and enjoy life! Hopefully, the home remedies for Fuchs’ Dystrophy that we shared with you here will help you have a guideline of what to do in your situation.

Have faith that everything happens for a reason and that reason is not ill-intended. All physical conditions stem from an emotional trigger, that soon enough creates the problem in physical form. What is yours? What are the things that you don’t want to see? Part of the healing is making peace with yourself. Now it’s time for you! Stay bright, stay healthy!

Thanks this information is very helpful to me. I was diagnosed with Fuchs’ corneal Dystrophy 3 weeks ago. I woke up with extreme hazy and very blurred vision. It scared me, so I went to the eye doctor . He told me I was legally blind in my left eye. He then prescribed 2 eye drops and an ointment to apply morning and at night. This helped some but he informed me that I will have to have an eye cell tranplant done soon. My cells are very minimum in .y left eye. Overall I do want to see. I have 3 adult kids and 10 grandkids .
