The boric acid I am talking about is pure, a powder. For use in eyes you
mix it with distilled water. The strength is nothing more than how much
you dilute it. According to this site
http://www.ehow.com/way_5195536_boric-acid-eye-bath-recipe.html :
"The adult strength eye wash is made with 1 tsp. of boric acid in 1 cup
of water
<http://www.ehow.com/way_5195536_boric-acid-eye-bath-recipe.html#>. An
eye wash for children <http://www.ehow.com/children/> should contain 1/2
to 2/3 tsp. boric acid per cup of water.
Buy medicinal grade boric acid powder at a pharmacy or online. Avoid the
industrial grade powder used in pesticides. Use distilled water to make
your eye bath so it won't be contaminated with the chemicals and
pollutants often present in tap water."

Be careful with boric acid for eyes. They come in different
strengths. My grandma had an eye surgery for cataracts and the nurse
used a stronger boric acid than what doc ordered and she got blind.
Ask your eye doctor what strength should be used for eyes.

In addition, a boiled, saturated solution of boric acid in water
makes an effective remedy for pink eye. It used to be the MD's
remedy of choice in the 50's. It may also be helpful for other
things.
I thought boric acid is much more potent than borax- so less would
be needed. Somebody could do the math on it.
