  Ok, I can see that you just want to improve your eye health and get rid of dry eyes which make you suffer. Anyway, as you can see,castor oil consists of a lot of nutritions and vitamins, which might be good for you eyes. But they are not very effective. What you should do is to figure out what led to your dry eyes and take measures to deal with it. Maybe you should consult a doctor and pay attention to your rest and your diet.

  Castor oil is eatable oil with lots of functions. For medical usage, it can used in constipation relief, inflammation treatment, and even labor induction. Castor oil can also be effective in treating dry eyes. Many artificial tears contain castor oil. Castor oil alone may treat dry eyes better than the marketed eye drops. Use a clean dropper, wash it thoroughly with soapy water, and rinse well. Suck 100-percent pure castor oil into the clean dropper. Drop one drop of oil into each eye three times per day.
