A member asked:
I was told that putting a drop of milk in the eyes before going to bed would help in cleaning the eyes. is it true? would you advise that?

No: Most 'home remedies' will not cause harm but will also have little to no benefit as well. If you are having a problem, it is best to get evaluated by your doctor to determine if something is wrong.
