I've never used Colloidal Silver before, so I can't speak from personal experience, but I thought you might like to watch this video. After watching it, I'm not sure what to think.

I have 4 cats who get cs in their eyes and internally when they get eye infections. Patches, my little ferral rescue came with abundance of parasites and infections. One being the herpes virus in her eyes. Being the affectionate little kitty, she quickly passed it on to my other three cats. Before I started making my own cs, it meant multiple trips to the vet, listening to how lysine is good for this and how sometimes it takes a long time to clear up. Colloidal Silver has yet to take more than 14 days to clear up a bad eye infection, usually it clears in about 5-7 days. The useless stuff the vet gave me wouldn't touch it unless I demanded an oral Antibiotic too. Now my vet sees less of my animals and my money. I like that.

Salem recently developed an eye infection. He woke up one day with a slight white discharge in one eye. I loaded up my oral syringe with 2 tsp of CS and put a couple of drops in both eyes and then squirted most of it down his throat. He had other plans and tried to thwart my Nightengale ministerings. But in spite of him working against me, his eye infection was cleared up in 5 days.

Well for one thing this is not a cure rather just a temporary relief. I think this is safe in the early stages but in the long run, i'm not really so sure. Well i'm guessing you already consulted a doctor with your problem, and probably gave you the right treatments.

I'm using it regularly in past two years and have no problems (but not every day, only when I feel I need it)

if you don't overuse it I think it's ok

but you need to make your own decisions - it's your health and it's only you who could either try it and see if it helps or decide it's not for you

You also might want to look into Dr. Christopher's eyebright formula as an eyewash to feed your eyes. Dry eyes can also be a symptom of dehydration -- add a pinch of unprocessed salt to your drinking water to help your body rehydrate.

Uniquity (Natural Healing) has a store front on her forum and she sells the eyebright tincture and there are instructions on her forum for using the tincture in water for eyewash. I don't think she sells eye cups, but you can pick one easily enough on the 'net -- a quick google for eye cup will give you many sites to pick from. Your local pharmacy might even have one. Amazon will certainly have at least one type to pick from.

You also might want to think about adding Iodine to your list of supplements. The Iodine Supplementation forum here has many testimonies regarding Iodine and reversing dry eyes. Lugols and iodoral can be purchased at Swansons vitamins and elsewhere online. For a list of companion supplements and protocol, this link will help.
