A double blind controlled clinical trial in which a herbal eye drop preparation (containing 22 aqueous extracts) was used to treat cases of trachoma stage III and chronic conjunctivitis of the eyes. In both trachoma and chronic conjunctivitis, the herbal eye drop formulation proved its superiority over placebo. Side-effects (burning sensations) were observed with normal saline which was used as placebo, but no side-effects were observed in the patients with trachoma and conjunctivitis who received the active drug. Both objective and subjective improvements were observed with the herbal eye drop preparation.
