Using a simple water mist spray

[Bette40]

Does anyone else use a simple water spray across closed eyes. Instead of the chemically one in the shops just Cooled boiled water in a pump dispenser. I have just thought of this. Doh! I realize I have 'mild blepharitis' and this may do nothing for some people but after 16 months I have only just thought of it today and it is lovely.

Hi Bette,

Is this just for cleaning your eye lids or are you using it for hydration?

Hydration

Got me through comfortably yesterday evening. I don't use drops.
I have normal eyes when I wake up, is only later in the day or sometimes after a shower they act up. Yesterday I was probably 'misting' every 15 minutes as a preventative.

I'm glad it's working for you Do you not miss the lubricating properties of drops at all? It sounds very refreshing!

Just don't like the idea of relying on drops as they only offer a few minutes relief for me.
