I've had this eye problem where I can't look at screens for too long or else my eyes start to hurt. Having had this issue for around 9 months now, I went to the doctor and he said I had severe dry eyes and blepharitis. As a solution, he said to do 4 things: use 4 eye drops a day, get a humidifier, take omega 3 supplements, and use Lotemax (loteprednol etabonate) ophthalmic gel 0.5%
From doing some research online on blepharitis, I can not find any sources that say you should use lotemax gel when you have blepharitis. So should I listen to my doctor and use this gel, even when it seems that this gel is usually not associated with helping blepharitis?
Also, this gel is considered a Corticosteroid, which from my knowledge, simply acts as a pain reliever and not something that actually cures or get rids of the problem.
Any thoughts? Also, I've read success stories where people use "wet ones" and that got rid of their blepharitis. Is there any dangers involved with doing that? It seems rather dangerous - who knows what chemicals are used in those and whether it'll hurt your eyes.
