Can I put sweet-potato juice in my eye?

No. Nothing from the kitchen goes into the eye. Eat the cubes if you want them as food.

Will a glass of the juice remove my glasses?

No. A few cooked cubes are a snack. They do not change specs power or treat eye disease.

My sight went dim suddenly. Should I eat more first?

No. Sudden dimming, a curtain over the sight, or a painful red eye needs an eye doctor the same day.

A Few Cubes of Cooked Sweet Potato

A few cubes of sweet potato, boiled and peeled. Eat them as food. This is not a juice, not a vision treatment, and nothing from this page goes into the eye.

Food on a plate, never a drop for the eye

Sweet potato boiled until a cube mashes, then peeled, is an ordinary snack. Eat a few cubes. Do not turn the pot into a large juice, and do not put any of the cooking water, the mash, or any oil near the eye. No kitchen liquid belongs in the eye. The cubes do not remove glasses, cure dryness, or reverse a disease.

If a cube is hard in the middle, cook it longer. People told to limit carbohydrate can count these cubes as food. Sudden blurring, pain, a curtain over the sight, or a very red painful eye needs an eye doctor the same day, not another cube.

Ingredients

One small sweet potato
Water for boiling
A pinch of cumin if you want it savoury

Do not juice a pile of them.
Nothing in this recipe touches the eye.

Helpful habits

A roasted cube with the skin on is fine for an adult who tolerates the skin. Peel it for anyone who finds the skin tough.
Salt, if you use it, stays a pinch.

Precautions

Nothing goes into the eye. Not the water, not the mash, not ghee.
Not a treatment for vision, dryness, or specs power.
Sudden loss or a curtain over the sight, pain, or a very red eye needs an eye doctor.
