I've spent a great deal of money going to eye doctors and on medicines over the past 10 years trying to find a cure for my "leaky eyes." One tiny bottle of eyedrops was more than $100 and not covered by insurance. I used that for months with absolutely no change. The only thing that seems to give relief, though temporary, is the boric acid compress. My father used it, but since he's long gone, I could only guess at the measurements. I was using a half teaspoon per cup which didn't seem to do any harm and dried my eyes for short periods of time. Although I tend to believe mine is not conjunctivitis since my problem doesn't respond to topical or internal antibiotics or anything the MDs have prescribed, I did find a great deal of information at this web site: http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_conju.htm At www.dryeyepain.com/Practical3-Vit_Compr.htm - 41k they list 1/8 teaspoon of boric acid powder to 1 cup sterile water.
