Eyebright is a wild plant native to Europe. Long used in herbal medicine, it's typically touted as a natural remedy for eye problems. Eyebright contains compounds called tannins, which appear to possess anti-inflammatory properties. In folk medicine, eyebright is often used as an ingredient in eyewashes, eye drops, or compresses applied to the eyes. However, there's some concern that use of such remedies could lead to infection, irritation, or other eye issues.
