I've been using eyebright and am up to 3 drops and it does burn. After washing eyes with eyebright, I've washed them with clear water but can this cause a problem or interfere with the effectiveness of the product? Is 3 the maximum amount of drops? I've never read that Dr. Christopher & Dr. Schulze had people rinse their eyes out after doing the eyewash. I don't rinse my eyes out with water when I do the wash. I'm thinking that Dr. Schulze had people doing 10 drops from the start but the recommended dose is from 1 to 10 drops.
Has any one ever complained of feeling slight movement in their eyes, which makes them itcy? the movement feeling is unmistakeable. When I look in the eyecup, there are always these same things in there. Tiny, insect looking and when I'm doing the eyewash, I feel stinging, not just burning. Keep in mind that I feel movement only prior to the eyewash but while doing the eyewash, I feel the stinging. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this and figure out what it is. I spent 30 minutes today just rewashing my eyes because these whatever keep flushing out. Usually in each eyewash I get approx 2-8 of them. Some spots I do see as just debris. I've never seen anything like that coming out of my eyes so I can't say what it is. I wouldn't call the feeling I get a 'burn' as much as I call it a 'stinging', for me anyway. Your stinging/burning sounds different from mine.
Can the eyes be damaged/hurt from eyewashing too much? I've only read healing testimonies from using the eyewash, I've never read it damaged anyone but like with anything I guess you could over do it. Dr. Schulze talked about doing it 3-6 times a day.
