Optase TTO BlephaWipe Eyelid Cleansing Wipes - for Daily Eyelid Hygiene & Relief for Blepharitis, Tired and Dry Eyes - 20 Wipes

Product Information

Washing eyes with baby shampoo is the traditional way to clean the eyelids. Add a few drops of baby shampoo to a small cup of warm water so that the ratio of water to shampoo is 10:1. Use a cotton wool bud dipped in the shampoo and water solution, ensuring that you squeeze out the excess liquid from the cotton bud to stop it dripping into your eyes, which can cause irritations. Try to clean any crust at the base of the eyelids. Once your eyelids are clean, wash off the shampoo using a flannel or wash cloth. Conjunctival phlyctenules. These are small (1-3 mm), hard, triangular, yellowish-white lumps surrounded by prominent but tiny blood vessels. If these lumps develop they normally occur on the lower part of the eye just below the cornea. They are made up of white blood cells that accumulate in response to bacterial infection.

Tiny flakes or scales may appear on the eyelids which look like flakes of dandruff. Crusts may develop at the base of eyelashes. Another method is to use sodium bicarbonate. Add a teaspoonful to a cup of cooled water that has recently been boiled (to partially sterilise the water). This is applied using a clean cloth or cotton wool bud in the same manner. Blephaclean wipes can be used forthe daily hygiene of eyelids and sensitive skins (especially in cases of blepharitis). Seborrhoeic blepharitis is closely linked with a skin condition called seborrhoeic dermatitis. In seborrhoeic dermatitis, the affected skin becomes oilier than normal and can become scaly. Seborrhoeic dermatitis typically causes bad dandruff and sometimes a rash on the face or upper body. The underlying cause of seborrhoeic dermatitis is not clear, but a type of yeast calledMalassezia furfur is involved. However, it is not just a simple skin infection and it is not contagious. The yeast lives in the oil of human skin in most adults and is normally harmless. However, in some people the it seems to trigger an inflammatory reaction, causing the blepharitis.
