Human eyes are precious organs in the body that enable us to see and perceive things. The eyes secrete a natural lubricant called eye tears. This was produced to keep away the exposed part of the eye from microorganisms and other diseases causing microbes and irritants. The eyes are the most sensitive and affected parts when there is a slight change in the irritation level and allergies. Taking this into consideration, the extracts of the plants like Turmeric and Tulsi have been prepared into a suspension that can be used in the eye for its antimicrobial activity and also give the eyes that cooling and lubricating effect. The eye washes that were prepared were investigated for the antibacterial activity and were found effective against the three tested bacteria. They were also proven safe and non-irritant to the eyes.
