The article discusses the benefits and harms of antimony for the eyes.
Antimony has been used since ancient times as both a cosmetic and medicinal substance. Its properties, such as protecting the eyes, improving vision, and preventing eye diseases, are well-known in traditional medicine. However, some elements in antimony can negatively affect health when used over an extended period. The research examines the mechanisms of antimony's effects on the eyes, its chemical composition, and the safety of its use. Additionally, the article explores proper usage methods as well as its medical and cosmetic aspects.
