Hello, Calotropis plants exude a white milky fluid, if this get into the eye - it can lead to a condition called corneal edema, causing blurred vision. There are numerous treatments to halt this disease process initially, but in case of long standing/ complicated cases, it is better to see a CORNEA specialist. This condition may in severe circumstances destroy vital tissues on the surface of the eye as well, this may need specialist equipment & expertise to manage & there may not be one straightforward solution this issue. Hope this helps you & wishing you a swift recovery.
