Allow it cool and thereafter rinse your infected eye. If possible, use distilled water and carry out the eye infection treatment 3-5 times in a day.

5. Make Use Of Chamomile As An Eye Cleanser

Chamomile is a natural anti-irritant that leaves a soothing effect on your affected eye. Take a tsp of dried chamomile flower powder and mix it in a cup of hot water.
