Took my eye disease to my dermatologist

I am off to Spain soon. Will see if I can get better treatment there.

   I live in Virginia.  I was diagnosed with Blepharitis by a cornea specialist after being treated for Pink-Eye for 2 months.  He said there is no cure, but there are certain treatments that can help one where it is very controllable. He initially prescribed an eye drop that I used once a day. This blog helped me tremendously. I went to Walmart and bought the Wet Ones They are in a box that is red ,white and blue They are called antibacterial Hand Wipes I got the Fressh Scent. I would open a packet and tear each one into 8 strips. I used one strip for each eye and wiped the upper and lower lid just where the lashes are. I do not wash that off. Before dong this , every morning upon waking and every night before bed, I used OcuSoft Lid Scrubs, purchased in the eye section at Walmart also. I cleaned my entite lids with these, also tearing one towelette into 8 pieces as they are expensive. After using these, clean thouroughly the eye lids wth a warm wash cloth.  I use white ones, one side for one and other side for the other eye.  When I launder these, I use some bleach to kill bacteria. Then I use the Wet Ones, which are not washed off, It is their ingredient that kills the bacteria.  When I go a few days without them, I notice a blurred vision and itching. Throughout the day, I use an eye drop called Systane Balance that I also purchase at Walmart or CVS.THis is rather expensive too, but if I don't use especially before sleeping, my eyes are awful the next morning. For many months, I was not able to use any eye make-up. Eventually I started using more, but never what I had before this condition.I purchase disposable mascara wands from Ebay.  They come from China and I buy in bulk. My specialist does not have a machine for the treatment that helps because he said that it is very expensive and because insurance will not cover the treatment, people do not want to have it done. But there are places in teh states that do it, but it needs to be done every 2 years and DOES NOT CURE it  I noticed however when I first got the inflammation, I had just purchased all new Lancome eye make-up.  There is some ingredient in the Lancome that irritates my eyes.  I had to discard all the new make-up.  Now, I only use over the counter eye make-up.  I use disposable eye shadow wands too.  I know I am jumping around.  Hope I haven't confused you more.  Hugs, Kathy
