castor oil and ocular rosacea

[Guest guest]

I read a post somewhere in the archives about using castor oil for

ocular rosacea. I cannot find it again. Does anybody remember

seeing it? I think the person put a tiny drop of it in his eyes.

Does that sound right? Or possible? I do remember the person saying

that their eyes were totally clear after doing this. I can't imagine

where you would find sterile castor oil. I did find an article on

the internet where they were talking about cyclosoporine eye drops

(which are still not approved by the FDA) and how they used castor

oil as the vehicle to get the cyclosporine into the eyes. There was

also one where the used olive oil.

Thanks.

Another piece of interesting info about castor oil. My opthalmologist

precribed Voltaran eye drops and what do you suppose is the base, Castor oil,

no less! However the Voltaran drops cost me $50 while a small bottle of

castor oil is about $3.00. Kate
