[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 563117, member: 1233"] IC, have you tried eyelid scrubs? You can do your own or buy a special cleaner to do it. The first step with either way is to wash your hands well. Then you either use the pads that come soaked in the cleanser or take a few drops of baby shampoo and use this to scrub the eyelash area. I have had blepharitis which is when the oil glands and/or hair follicles get plugged up and swollen. It is usually caused by what amounts to dandruff in your eyelashes, or that is how the eye doctor explained it when I had it when Wiz was little. You have to open your eyes to scrub the eyelid, and then you rinse it. I usually used saline solution to rinse the soap off because it was much easier on my eyes. Do NOT use Johnson' and Johnson's baby soap - it will burn like fire. The Baby Magic brand doesn't burn, but that no more tears stuff is evil. I haven't had problems from blepharitis in years, but J just had it for the first time and that is why I remembered it. The cleanser pads that you buy (come in a jar like stridex pads, lol) do not burn at all, but they are ten bucks for thirty pads, which is expensive. [/QUOTE]
