Making your own eye drops is a fun way to relax and spend some time. They can be used at any point in the morning or after school or bedtime, especially if you are running short on time.
Eye drops are one of the most common medicaments people purchase for themselves. They can be a great way to test out new medicines or ones with added benefits as they are not using the actual prescription medicine, but making their own can actually cost less than buying it pre-made.
This article will go into detail on how to make an MSM (manual serum method) eye drop. This method is less common and more complicated, but it can be very effective if done correctly.

Mix together water and sodium chloride
Potassium chloride is a common ingredient in most over-the-counter cold remedies. Many over-the-counter pain relievers have potassium as an ingredient. You can make your own eye drops by mixing together water and sodium chloride (table salt).
The principle action of table salt in the body is to draw water out of surrounding liquids, including blood. This helps regulate blood pressure and fluid volume in the body.
As an eye drop maker, you can create your own drops for people with dry eyes or for people who have trouble finding an appropriate wetting agent for their eye drops.
Mix together water and sulfuric acid
This is one of the most basic recipess you can make for eye drops. Mixing water and sulfuric acid is not for the faint of heart. This requires a special container, and you must ensure that it has been mixed thoroughly to the point where the liquid and acid have mixed together.
Theoretically, this makes sense- if water and acid do not mix, then your eyes will not get an effective reaction from the acid. However, there are many who do not believe in such things as too- too much can cause irritation or even damage to your eyes.
This recipe does not work for everyone, but if you want to try it out then go for it! You can make a few batches per day if you want to.
Filter your mixture
After you mix your drug, it’s important to filter your mixture to remove any impurities. Most importantly, make sure to remove any foreign substances.
These can be substances such as drugs or chemicals that do not go in or out of the body, or substances that affect the body in a negative way.
Any of these can cause harm if introduced into the eye area. For example, a foreign drug could enter the eye and cause damage such as burning or discomfort. Or an obstruction could enter the eye and cause excessive drainage and pain.
If you find any foreign materials in your mixture, you can either discard them or put them in a container to filter before use. We suggest using kitchen suppliers for these because they are usually accurate and reliable.
Pour into eyedrop bottle
After mixing the ingredients together in a mixing container, pouring the mixture into the eye drop bottle is the next step. This may seem complicated, but it is actually very easy.
Just follow the directions and you will be doing it in seconds!

Mixing up your eye drops can be fun.
Let sit until liquid settles
When making an eye drop, you want to let it sit until the liquid has completely settled. This prevents any harsh side effects such as irritation or melting of the skin around the eye.
The liquid needs to be able to flow through the tube and into the eye. If it sits, this problem can cause a clumpy or poor-looking drop.
How long it takes depends on how warm your room is and how fast you want your coolinement. Some take as little as five minutes while other people must have had their eyes open for at least a minute before they feel a cooling sensation.
This is because some people do not wake up sufficiently dry or because they did not happen to have had time to wet their respective eyes before trying this tip.
Pull off top liquid layer
When the liquid is full, pull off the second top liquid layer. This will reveal the motorized wheel system.
Wheel system: Using a multimeter, measure the distance between two wheels on the system. That’s how far it travels!
Make sure to check your drops to make sure it is working properly! If not, replace it and try again.
Spare parts: There may be some spare parts available to fix the machine, but don’t expect them to be readily available. Most machine makers do not have a backup machine for sudden repairs or product sales during festivals. This keeps quality control intact as they can always access their machines in case of an issue.
How much does it cost?: The cost of this machine depends on what you need for festival time! Check out SSR-10 for more information about this handy device.
Mix together water and sodium sulfate
This is the second ingredient in your eye drops. Most common sodium sulfate is an ingredient in baking soda.
Mice and other creatures can use it for digestion, so some products contain it as a substitute for coconut oil. You can buy it at most grocery stores or online as a supplement.
Because it is natural, there are not many ways to create MSM without adding it as a powder. However, because it takes longer to make, the average person would have to make the powder twice before they had enough for an entire batch of medication.
This problem can be avoided by making the powder at home. It is much easier to maintain and use than buying one made on-site or from a vendor. You also do not have to worry about contamination as these are not commercially produced.
Filter your mixture again
Once your mixture is ready, it is time to filter your eye drops. A simple way to do this is to place a piece of folded paper in the refrigerator or in the freezer to act as a filter.
When you bring your mixture back to the warm environment of your eye area, it will automatically pull out any impurities that were in the process of being processed.
This ensures your eye drops are a safe and effective solution for your eyes. If there were any substances that could not be absorbed by the eye itself or passed into your tears, your eyes would not feel any relief from the drops!
So, please make sure you do this right! Make sure your thumb and pointer finger of each hand are empty and that you have no traces of ingredients coming off of you as you process your drop fit.
