Sore Eye

[katex]

I often get blepharitis, and was advised to bathe my eyelids using boiled, cold water in which some bi-carb of soda has been disolved - about a teaspoon to a pint, which I keep in the fridge. It does work!

Yes, we always used Bi-carb for this purpose too Ossylass ... was told helps to "draw out the puss" ... but think just a good cleansing agent.

I only had that blepharitis once and notice that, since then, my eyelashes on that eye are shorter and point inwards towards my nose.
I think that increasing my intake of omega oils has warded off future re-occurances.

Or maybe all the stuff you take is making your hairs grow in funny ways

If you are still suffering try to get hold of some 'Optrex- -infected eyes'. You can buy it over the counter at the chemist. It should put you on til you get to the docs

My mum used to swear by "Golden Eye Ointment" but i dont know if its still avaliable

Try sleeping with mittens on.

Perhaps you're a scratcher.

Is the eye any better flashy? Hope so, if not think you seriously need to get it looked at as it's been going on now for a while.

 

[flashy]
