Functions:

Euphrasia Officinalis’ (Eyebright) astringent properties account for its usefulness as a topical treatment for under-eye puffiness and dark circles. It counteracts inflammation and reduces mucous drainage, thanks to its high levels of iridoid glycosides, flavonoids, and tannins. Eyebright was and continues to be used primarily as a poultice for the topical treatment of eye inflammations, including blepharitis, conjunctivitis, and styes. It’s known to give rapid relief from redness, swelling, and visual disturbances in eye infections, although should only be used under doctor’s supervision when used as a treatment for an eye infection (Source).

Safety Measures/Side Effects:

There are no known side effects for Euphrasia Officinalis, although it should only be used under supervision if an eye infection is suspected. Although Eyebright is considered an herbal remedy for eye infections, as an under-eye cream or applied directly, it can irritate an eye infection if not used properly.
