Is Garlic really not good 4 your eye ?

Yesterday, I made a [selection] why people eat garlic health? One article, talking about the benefits of eating garlic. Health effects of garlic have been recognized by everyone, but some people worry about eating garlic may be bad for the eyes. I am not a clinician, but not an ophthalmologist, so not much knowledge about eye diseases. The only thing I can do is take the time to look up information on the Internet.
However, a number of entries checked Wikipedia, did not see the garlic and glaucoma, cataract and other eye diseases What is the connection between. It touches in the "central serous retinopathy" (central serous retinopathy) entry to see the following statement: In some cases, low-dose ibuprofen has been shown to speed up recovery, but should avoid eating natural blood thinners, such as garlic , turmeric, cinnamon, these foods can promote capillary leak behind the retina.
Low dosage ibuprofen has been show to quicken recovery in some cases, whilst avoiding naturally occurring blood thinners such as garlic, turmeric, cinnamon, which can enhance leakage from capillaries behind the retina.
Under garlic (Garlic) terms, there is a word is this: since garlic may slow down platelet aggregation, so patients taking anticoagulant drugs to be more careful when eating garlic.
As garlic may reduce platelet aggregation, patients taking anticoagulant medication are cautioned about consuming garlic.
Seen in this light, the garlic "side effects" (also a benefit) that the anti-clotting, so there are a precursor to stroke and people taking anticoagulant drugs, or eat garlic, or reduce the dose of anticoagulants, otherwise easily lead to bleeding or bleeding.
So, let's take a look at glaucoma, find out whether they will be worse clotting difficult. At Wikipedia "glaucoma" (Glaucoma) terms, there is no mention of the relationship between garlic and glaucoma, only mentioned after contact with caffeine can increase intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients, but caffeine has no effect on normal intraocular pressure.
Look at cataract, whether garlic can induce cataract or cataract patients so that sicker. At Wikipedia "cataract" (Cataract) terms, neither mentioned the garlic is the cause of cataracts, cataract patients did not say should not eat garlic. Actually mentioned ultraviolet irradiation and smoking are risk factors, but taking antioxidants or pyridine he can reduce the risk of drugs.
We know that garlic is rich in allicin, alliin and is a natural antioxidant, say garlic not only does not aggravate the condition, but will help to reduce intraocular pressure. Sure enough, an ophthalmologist for glaucoma patients is recommended is: to reduce intraocular pressure, should eat garlic and onions!
Let us now look at Chinese literature, published in the "Journal of Yangtze University" (Natural Science Edition) on paper, reported on the findings of allicin on high intraocular pressure rabbit model of ocular hypotensive effect, namely "garlic is known the role of certain preventive carbomer formed due to high intraocular pressure and can reduce high intraocular pressure rabbit model of ocular hypertension. "
Then, "garlic bad for the eyes," saying from where it? It turned out that our folk long "garlic Experian, one eye only harm" argument. Then go deeper, you may want to involve Chinese medicine, "pathogenesis." Listen to how Chinese medicine physician, said: "From the Chinese medicine theory speak, eat a lot of garlic, really bad for the eyes, it is because garlic spicy, injury of blood, and blood can Liver, visual function of the eyes mainly from the liver, and therefore 'Head was in order, as the blood'. "
Not only have the Chinese, "anger liver damage, like sad, thinking injured spleen, lung distress, fear of harm to the kidneys," saying there are "too acid injured spleen, sad salty, too sweet kidney injury, liver injury over Sheen, too bitter injury lung "argument. Originally, garlic, garlic, onion, ginger and chili are "Wu Xin" eat too much garlic first "liver injury", after the "loss of the eye."
However, anger, joy, anxiety, worry, fear, panic, grief "impassioned" as the cause of emotional disorders have seem some truth, but no one has proved that the above-mentioned sour, salty, sweet, acrid, bitter "flavors from the scientific "can damage a person's internal organs. Instead, allicin has been proven liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats significantly inhibited.
In short, although it can not say for sure, "garlic bad for the eyes" is a "baseless assertion," saying, but like garlic can lower blood pressure as lower intraocular pressure, may have the same mechanism. As for the "garlic liver injury, eye damage," the old saying has not been supported by rigorous scientific conclusions
