Doctor says that breast milk and urine does not cure "Sore Eyes".

When I was a child I used to believe that breast milk cures sore eyes. That's why when I have sore eyes, I ask breastfeeding mothers to put some milk on my eyes but a doctor said that it does not cure it. “Using breastmilk and urine on the eye are common myths that should be avoided because these may cause secondary bacterial infection like gonorrhea and chlamydia," said ophthalmologist Jack Arroyo in a statement. Also steroids is not a cure to sore eyes. " Steroids can cause glaucoma, a blinding disease, in susceptible individuals. Patients are advised to consult an ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment," he said.
