Homeopathy and Ophthalmology

Behrens-Baumann W.

Universitätsaugenklinik, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität, Magdeburg

Objective: To evaluate the results of homeopathy and placebo in general and in ophthalmology
Methods: The scientific literature of the last 10 years was screened using Medline, Pubmed, Drugs, GratefulMed and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. In addition, original publications were studied.
Results: In most cases the results of homeopathy and placebo effects are similar. Poor designed studies had the tendency for positive results of homeopathy compared to placebo and studies with good design vice versa. Metaanalyses are often insufficient in collecting studies without comparable parameters.
Conclusion: Homeopathic and placebo drugs are effective and powerful using the important psychological way. A direct somatic effect is not possible (Avogadro's number). No study with a significant effect of homeopathy compared to placebo has been confirmed by an independent other scientific group.
