Euphrasia Officinalis

Euphrasia is one of the valuable remedies in rheumatic iritis with the constant aching and occasional darting pains in the eyes, always markedly worse in the evening and night.

Associated with all its troubles is the characteristic profuse fluent discharge which excoriates the eyelids and cheeks, but from the nose is always bland.
