There's a product out there which is a schrub, and is used to treat Blepharitis. It's very expenesive. I could never afford it. I later learned that one of the main ingredients is Tea Tree Oil. So I bought some and mixed one drop with some no tears baby shampoo. Mixed it in my hand, rubed it over my face with my eyes closed. Then I schrubed along the edges of my eye lids. After that I rinsed my face and eyes with cool water and applied a gentle moisterizer to my face. I did this twice a day. My eyes are doing great, and although I use systane eye drops, I dont use them very much.This site has helped me so much, I just want to help someone else if I can. smile Dena d

    Can you tell me is the Tea tree oil that you are using is 100% pure or if it is diluted to 5%. I see both in stores and surely it would make a big difference for the number of drops to use.

    Dena -- its back! And I have to admit I was lax, had stopped the warm compresses, ran out of wet ones. Thought I had recovered. Leavigolive oil and two drops on after washinf and application led to dry flaky, even painful crustsy skin at the corners of my eyes.

    SO, HERE'S myquestion: when you mix a dime sized baby shampoo with one drop of tea tree you use this as a wash with mild scrubbing of clids with closed eys ?

    OR do you wash with warm water and whatever, like Cetaphil or another mild facial wash, and then apply that no teras with tto concocyion to your lids and either leave it on or rinse it off? If you rinse it off, how long do you leave it on?

    Im pi king ue Wet Ones today, need the specifics of your routine that you say has been consistently successful.

    Thanks so much.

      agnes, I was using the wet ones for over a year, became alergic. It is a chemical. Then I started using the no tears baby shampoo, and the one drop of Tea Tree Oil. All I do is squirt a drop of shampoo as big as a dime in my hand, then one drop of tto. Then with my eyes closed I wash my whole face with it, but with my fingers I rub along the rims of my eyelids. Then I wash my eyes and face with cold water. The cold water helps the inflamation.I then use a mild moisteriser for my whole face, not in my eyes Theres a very good skin cream at walmart called "Fruit of the Earth" vitamin E skin care cream. You get two containers for under 4 dollars! It's excellent, and mild. I also use systane eye drops, but don't need to as much since I started with the tto. Also I take flaxseed oil and fish oil every day. I wash my face twice a day with my concoction and my eyes are practially normal. Wish you well! smile Dena
