    I have bletharitis in both eyes, but only slightly in the left.   My right eye is by far the worst, feeling like it has a bucket of sand in it all the time.

    As yet, none of the remedies told to me have worked, but I'm persevering !

    but nothing like it use to be.Now the good days out number the bad. I also use Optrex

    Dear Melissar,

    I got it in one eye and then infected my other eye myself. That is why it is recommended by some doctors to use 2 wash cloths for the face. Use one for each eye.

    Be careful.
