A bit dissappointed
Disappointed because this product says pharmaceutical grade but also says it cannot be used in the eyes. The American Medical Association approves the use of castor oil in the eyes. My guess is that they use a chemical in processing. Pharmaceutical should be safe enough to eat - if not able to use in eyes then it should not be labelled as pharmaceutical grade.

Cannot say if it worked for my eyes as I got cataract surgery instead of using it.
