💧 Is Breast Milk Good for the Eyes? Think Again! Many believe that breast milk can cure eye infections in babies — but this is a dangerous myth. Breast milk is rich in nutrients for babies to drink, not a medicine for the eyes. Applying it to the eyes can cause serious infections because it may contain bacteria. 👁 Why to Avoid: It can worsen eye infections like conjunctivitis. Bacteria in milk may lead to corneal ulcers. Delays proper treatment, risking long-term eye damage. ✅ Safe Choice: Always consult an ophthalmologist for any redness, discharge, or swelling in your baby’s eyes. Early medical care ensures quick recovery and healthy vision. 👩‍⚕ Dr. Maria’s Eye Clinic, Saligramam, Chennai – Caring for every eye, safely and scientifically.
