Nash
Calabar (Physostigma) is primarily indicated for ocular conditions involving ciliary muscle spasm, irregular accommodation, and miosis. The remedy acts on the internal muscles of the eye, causing dysfunction of visual axes and pupillary constriction.
Key symptoms
- Internal eye muscle dysfunction; axes of the eyes differ
- Contraction of the pupils (miosis)
- Spasms of accommodation, possibly irregular
