A suggested treatment for weak eyes involved the spraying of a jet of weak salt water on the eyelid. An other recommended bathing the eyes with cold tea or cold water to which a little Epsom salts has been added.
It was suggested that men with poor eyesight should abstain from sexual intercourse to improved their eyesight. An old suggested cure for blindness was to make a poultice from the leaves of celery. If the blindness affected only one eye, say the right one, the poultice was to be placed on the other wrist, in the suggested case the left wrist. In cases where both eyes were affected poultices were to be placed on both wrist.
