Just peeking in to say Hi.  My eye is swollen now but they said that might happen.  The cough is worse, I am so grateful I have a Nebulizer for asthma treatment.

 

Hope everyone is well, so much of the country is having such bad weather, we've had storms for a couple of days.

I’m sorry! Ono! How horrible!

 

Last year (and the year before) I have had a terrible rash on my eyes...eyelids and under.

I now use Ocusoft lid pads and these have made a huge difference. My ophthalmologist recommended these for what she calls blepharitis.

My son got it all the time until he was in college. My pediatrician once told me my son had the worst case of it he had ever seen.

Hi @Noel7

Just popping in to hope you are much improved and will be comfortable enough to catch the Academy Awards today (if that's what you were planning).

All the best for a perfect recovery!

Hey there @LTT1    🙂

 

I have blepharitis, too!  I hate it, my eyes always look red on the lower lid.  Concealer helps a little but not much.  My doctor told me to use a tiny bit of Johnson’s baby shampoo on the lids.  It doesnt hurt or sting.  I think it helps a little.

 

Ocusoft. Is that over thhe counter?

Hi @GingerPeach

 

We had a nice day today and DD and I are looking forward to watching the Oscars tonight. 

 

Thank you for the good wishes. 😌

Both of these are OTC. 

 

This is the one I use every day.

Choose this one you don’t need to rinse it off.

I cut these into 3rds so a box will last longer.

 

There is another one that is made with a very dilute Clorox-type solution. It is excellent, too, especially if you suspect an infection. I will get that choice and add it here.

OCuSOFT HypoChlor 0.02% Hypochlorous Acid Eyelid and Eyelash Gel 2 fl. OZ (59ml)

 

My ophthalmologist suggested I might like to try a brand new RX just on the market and containing hypochlorous acid (smells like bleach). It would have cost $300. No just no.

I used the one above once or twice and forgot I had it figuring I’d save it for when I might need it. It is gentle and also effective. HTH💗

THANK YOU @LTT1 !

 

I guess I ordered the wrong one, I went on Target and ordered the same brand but the one in the navy color box.  That's ok, I can always get the one you like, too.

 

Re: $300... I saw a couple either on Amazon or Target, I don't remember which, that were shockingly high.  Just awful..
