      Hi Kaz

      Did you ever buy the blue packet of wet ones? If so...give it a try.

      From what I can gather from honkon [think that was the name] he is using the UK ones with the slightly different ingredient and its working well....I am using them and they work well.....so I'm going to stick to them.....they are easy to get and not expensive.

      Good luck with your search

      Love

      Eileen

      Hi Kaz

      I cut them into about eight pieces......use a seperate piece for each thing

      A little bit of one of them wrapped around my finger, and I wipe bottome right eye lashes with them, change to another little bit and do the same with the top eylashes and the same with the other eye.....so thats  small pieces  I have used. I originally used them like that 4 times a day faithfully until it started to clear up.....then I eased off a bit.....couple of times a day. Now its once a day unless I feel they need it more often.

      I use eyedrops that were prescribed by the doc but I think you can buy them over the counter.....Optive Plus [I think} and I have a small tube of boots cream because sometimes the eyelids itch and that helps

      I think thats about it.

      Love

      Eileen

    Hi Kaz,    Did you see my recent post, I used Optrex Eye Wash (contains the ingredient) , soaked into cotton wool( rather than bathing the actual eye) followed by Goldeneye Ointment (good for keeping the eye area moist, especially good BEFORE washing.... use both night and morning on waking.....cleared it up within a week.

    Dear kaz,

     

    I got this information from Review of Ophthalmology on-line.

    Notice where this eye doctor says to put the medicine for Blepharitis.

    AzaSite is azithromycin, an antibiotic.

    “ If patients have mild-to-moderate disease, she adds AzaSite rubbed into the lid margins twice a day, which is an off-label use. “Patients put one drop of AzaSite on one index finger, rub it between both index fingers, and then rub it on the four lid margins, where the eyelashes dive into the skin on the top of the eyelid wall,” she says.”

    There is a wonderful new treatment called BlephEx. A little machine that cleans guess what? The eyelash area and the lid margins are cleaned of dead skin cells and scurf and they use tea tree oil on the rotating little head.

    The problem of Blepharitis is on the eyelash area and lid margins.

    I used the Wet Ones, antibacterial hand wipes with Benzethonium Chloride in them, and was able to do the same thing. Only thing is if someone is allergic to shampoos, detergents, fabric softeners or even spermicidal jellies they should not use them.

    If the staphylococcus infection is too bad or gone on too long it could end up being mites, called Demox, and tea tree oil is used for that problem.

    Honjon on this site had the oily problem and the hand wipes in the UK with Benzalkonium Chloride in then solved his problem.

    Where to treat the problem is half the battle. There are 3 things mentioned above that can help.

    Hope this information helps you.
