    If you have not used any treatment on your eyes for a couple of months and they feel fine,then you  could try using them,but try them out before the party and see if you are OK. You dont want to be in agony at the party I'm sure.

    Blepharitis can take a long time to cure and clear and you have to find a regime thats right for you. Dont wear any eye make up at all while you have Blepharitis or any make up with glitter or glow particles in or powder. Dont rub your eyes. If you have dandruff use an anti dandruff shampoo. This can lead to dry eyes so make sure your eyes are never feeling dry with a good ocular lubricant at all times during the day. Use eye lubricating eye ointment at night to soften any crusts on the eyelid.    It takes a lot of perseverance,I'm afraid and you have to keep at it.

      There's also different oils that will irritate your eyes. Coconut oil bothered mine. Experiment with different treatments to find what's best for you. Be gentle.

      Thanks dear. I will feel less sad if m a man. But, now even my hubby still don look at me as before. I can see when we go out. That's really painful indeed. I used little make up in my cousin wedding few days ago. And used coconut oil as make up remover. M ok with it, I used V.Rohto eyedrop before and after make up. My condition still the same even without make up. But, I still not back to contact lenses yet cos I still worry.

    it made my eyes itch and hurt. I use a little baby shampoo to take of my make up, on't use it other times, just wash with very warm tap water. I us eye drops,am using the wet ones applying with a q tip foe each eye. Try different things, but be very careful. Dena
