    In the opinion of traditional Chinese medicine, garlic is good for prevention of many diseases, but only bad for eyes. Excessively having garlic in a long term is especially harmful to those with eye disorders or frequently having a fever. When they become 50 or 60 years old, the badness will gradually emerge, such as blurred vision, tinnitus, dry mouth, obvious memory deterioration etc. So even if you are recently in the therapy of sore eyes, you should also keep off stimulating food.
