Bizarre, but tap water for blepharitis

Recently I posted on here about using blephagel and how helpful I found it as opposed to anything else I had used, well, obviously I still get the occasional flare up and these past few days, after constantly using my gel, I found they just got too sore and swollen and gunky to tollerate the blephagel near it, so desparate, I started applying with my fingers, from a tall glass beaker, plain simple cold fresh tap water and amazingly enough, I found after doing this repeatedly for about ten minutes, and then wiping the excess away eventually with mansize tissues, that the swelling actually went down and bizarrely enough, after three days of constant pain and soreness, they are now very nearly calm and back to normal, so I know it may sound way too simple a solution, but I just wondered if this would help anyone when the mere thought of applying a gel or an eye drop seems too much, eyes are very delicate and the tap water alone seems to have got my eyes back on an even keel, so I am just sharing in case this method is of any use to anyone
