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."
