I don't find lid hygiene helps my symptoms much, but when you wake up with your eyelids crusted half shut and a failure of hygiene results in your eyelashes falling out and visible crusting, you need to do some form of hygiene out of common sense.
Over the years I've found it didn't matter much exactly what I did, as long as I did it. For a long time, after trying a variety of lid hygiene products, I ended up just using water or washcloth in the shower and found it fine, but lately my eyes are just so crusty and gross I need a bit of help.
Commercial lid hygiene products are so incredibly expensive though here. The only products I have ever seen in pharmacies in OZ are lid care wipes and sterilid (and these still hard to come by). There must be something a bit cheaper than paying $40 for a tiny canister of sterilid or something like $15 for a tiny packet of lid care wipes, without resorting to baby shampoo.
I see there are a few products available on dry eye zone but they are not available in OZ so I don't know how they compare to the above products and whether they last longer and end up more economical. I am especially irritated by the fact that lid care wipes come in such a small packet, there seems to be no way to save by buying in bulk, is there somewhere I can buy in bulk online? If my memory serves me correctly, I also recall seeing sterilid available on dry eye zone for about $26 which is way cheaper than here, but its not there in the shop now, but maybe somewhere else I can buy it online for a more reasonable price? Can anyone help out by suggesting a comparable product that I can buy on dry eye zone or elsewhere on the internet that works out cheaper per use than what I'm paying?
