A member asked:
How does boric acid clean out your eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common in past: Boric acid was used for many years as an eye wash in dilute solution. It is no more effective than other available eyewashes and so has fallen out of favor. If you can use it properly and like its effects, go for it. There are many alternatives however.
